Two days have passed since the mass shooting at Campus Risbergska in Örebro. People of all ages have made their way to the memorial site outside the school to pay their respects to the victims.
Douaa, a woman in her 20s who is a student at the school, tells us that her class was taking a test when the first shots were fired.
We heard sounds, it didn't sound normal, but we couldn't imagine it was a shooting. Then a person came and said we all had to get out, quickly, quickly, says Douaa.
A place for mourning
She stood outside the school building for a while without understanding what was going on.
After five minutes, I heard it was a shooting, and I quickly got out of there.
She tells us that she saw a woman who had been shot in the leg.
It was a black day, says Douaa.
What were your thoughts then and there?
I could never believe it could happen in Sweden, I was very surprised.
Now Campus Risbergska is a place for mourning, she says.
I don't know how I'll be able to go back there.
Not much to do
Another student, Luca Flore, barricaded himself together with his classmates in one of the classrooms. The door was locked from the inside and the windows were covered.
I thought about what I could do, but there wasn't much I could do in that situation. Then we just waited. The shots stopped after five or ten minutes, and after half an hour, we heard voices outside that we understood belonged to the police, he says.
Luca Flore explains that he's doing well considering the circumstances.
I've heard that many of us are quite traumatized by what happened, but I feel surprisingly calm. Maybe it still feels strange that we were involved in all of this.
