Worried students in Borlänge say people shouldn't die

Magdalena Skogberg, whose son attends the closed Soltorgsgymnasiet in Borlänge, also appreciates the municipality's quick action.

And that they put the children's safety first, she says.

The municipality's early-morning email "triggered a feeling of anxiety in my body," she says. Magdalena Skogberg, who grew up in Borlänge herself, has never experienced anything like this, neither for herself nor for her children.

That has never happened - as far as I know.

When TT meets the Svadling family, they are in the Kupolen shopping center, which is empty of people. Alex Svadling, who is in sixth grade, tries to stay away from social media to avoid spreading rumors. That was also the advice he received from his father.

"We talked about it this morning; it's better for the information to come from the right sources," says David Svadling.

Mother Nanna Svadling trusts the municipality's assessment, she says, but also felt that the threat of school violence was getting even closer.

Örebro was close, but this is moving very close.

At Kupolen there is also a group of eighth graders from Kunskapsskolan, which is also closed. They are looking around a little extra, they say, and describe the threat of violence as "outrageous." Their thoughts go both to Risbergska in Örebro and to school shootings in the USA.

People shouldn't die. People should be able to go to school and be taught, says one of them.
