The son was nearby: "Uncomfortable"

A woman living near Tyresö Gymnasium says she saw the police operation in her backyard. Her son was on his way to a bus stop when he met the bus.

– It's uncomfortable. I was most worried about my son, that's the first thought that comes to mind, she says.

Another woman in the same area said that it had been quiet in the area for a while, and that it felt "unpleasant" that there had been a shooting so close to her home.

– My daughter goes to high school and has to pass Tyresö Gymnasium to get home. We don't know how she's going to get home, and I don't dare go out, I don't know if any perpetrator is on the loose, she said.

Bollmoradalen Church was open on Wednesday evening for those who needed to talk about the incident, Tyresö Municipality wrote on its website. Tyresö Gymnasium and Tyresö Komvux will also have crisis support on site on Thursday.
