At seven in the morning, the police roll up the barrier tape around a small parking lot in Viksjö in Järfälla municipality. A few people help sweep away the glass shards that remain on the ground. On one side of the crime scene is a preschool, on the other a school.
Four hours earlier, two men who were sitting in a car were shot here. A third person was also in the car. They made it, but one of them was taken to the hospital for care. Now a new day is about to begin for the children who attend preschool and school here.
–It's very unpleasant. It's getting so close. It's right by our children's school and preschool, says a dad that TT meets.
"Very unpleasant"
Viksjö is located a few kilometers south of Kallhäll where two men were shot dead in a car on Monday. The fact that a double murder occurred just a few kilometers away just a few days ago worsens the feeling, according to the parent who wants to remain anonymous.
It seems to be internal within the gangs. But of course, there is always a risk that civilians will get caught in the middle. So it's very unpleasant in that way.
A mom, who also wants to remain anonymous, has just dropped off her child. She didn't notice anything during the night but found out what had happened in the morning, first through a message from the school and then through the news.
What can you say, where is the world heading? It doesn't feel safe anywhere, wherever you are, she says, referring to what she reads in the media.
She says that despite this, she doesn't feel unsafe in her own residential area.
It feels like it's just a pure lottery that nothing happens on the day you walk by, she says.
"Become everyday"
Kurt Buddenbaum comes walking with his dog, on the day's first walk. He also lives nearby.
I think it's become everyday now. We've had shootings outside where we used to live too, he says.
He tells that there have been violent crimes in Järfälla before. He doesn't think so much about safety for himself, but for his children and grandchildren.
Of course, you're concerned. It's not the Sweden I grew up in. It's a different country this is.
