Sollentuna Witness: "You feel terrified"

The shooting in the Sollentuna Centre mall occurred right during lunchtime in a restaurant area. There were two, three shots. Bang-bang, extremely loud, says a woman who works at one of the restaurants.

The employed woman tells TT that the shooting took place right next to their restaurant.

Everyone who was sitting here ran, says the woman, who wants to remain anonymous.

She did not see the shooting herself. After that, guards and police arrived, and the staff have now been instructed to stay inside the restaurant, waiting to be heard as witnesses.

That the shooting occurred so close by was uncomfortable, she says.

It was frightening. It sounded very loud and it was terrifying.

Monika Staszak and Mahlagha Gohari both work at a pharmacy in the mall. They heard the shots and ran out of the pharmacy to see what was happening, and then ran back and locked themselves in, waiting for information.

We heard the shots and then a screaming guy. There have been several shootings where I live, but never here, where I've worked for 14 years. But you still feel scared. I don't know if I'll want to come back here, says Monika Staszak, who lives in Sollentuna.

I'm shocked. Especially when it happens at this time of day when there are so many people at the restaurants, says Mahlagha Gohari.

— You don't know if you want to stay here anymore, but it's happening everywhere now, says Monika Staszak.

Yes, it's tragic, agrees Mahlagha Gohari.
