Emptiness

I feel like crying. Crying and crying and crying until there are no tears left, only emptiness. Maybe you've heard of the horrific attack on Stockholm, Sweden, or maybe you've not. Google it, because I don't have the strength right now to write about what happened. I have walked that street loads of times, I've been shopping in the store that the truck crashed into. Luckily I don't live in Stockholm anymore, me and my family moved to a smaller city three years ago. But it still hurts so bad. My family and my friends still live there, and thank God they are not hurt, but I am shaken to my core. I was in Stockholm a month ago. A month ago, and yet, it feels like yesterday. It feels like yesterday because when I look at the news, all I see is a place I love, a place I recognise, a place I know like the back of my hand. And when I see that, I feel like crying like there's no end to this dark day. But this day will end, and tomorrow will be a new day, a day still not tainted by blood and fear and death. A new day, a new purpose, a new hope. My love goes out to all those who have lost someone today, to those who have been hurt, and to those who have had to witness such terror. Don't let the terror win.

#StockholmAttack

WHAT WE KNOW: • A truck has run over a few people at Drottninggatan in Stockholm, and then drove straight into Åhlens City (a very populated mall). the alarm came in 14:53 See graphics of how the truck was driving here. 

• At least two people has died, says police and prime minister Stefan Löfven. • People ran away from the place. • Prime minister Stefan Löfven says “Sweden has been attacked. Everything is pointing to that this is a terror attack” • right now there is no arrests, says police. • Police don’t want to call it terrorism, to not scare people, but are treating it as such. • Government offices are closed down and all cabinet ministers has been brought to safety. • Police encourage people to not visit or be in central Stockholm  and to avoid big crowds of people. Do not move towards Gamla Stan (Old town), And do not stop if you are near Södermalm. The train station and all other public traffic is completely shut down, just as all traffic to and from Stockholm. • Police and Säpo (swedish fbi, sort of) held a press conference 17:45, here they show a picture of a man they are looking for in relation to the attack. However, the man is not necesarily a suspect, but may have important information. 

• Police are currently 19:11 going into Åhlens City fully armed and it is more activity in there than earlier. • Two people are brought to interrogation but police does not want to let out information about this. • Åhlens City and the area around there has been evacuated.  • The truck was stolen. • Stockholm citizens are hashtaging #OpenStockholm for stranded people in stockholm who cant get home due to the traffic (trams, bus, trains etc) shut down. Citizens are opening up their homes for the stranded.  ♣ A more complete summary of the happenings can be found HERE. This link is in swedish.  ♣ SEE SWEDISH LIVE REPORT HERE.

There was just some sort of suspected attack in the middle of central Stockholm, Sweden. A truck drove down a street full of people and into a store. People have been reported dead, and reports of shots having been fired have reached the police. Unclear so far what exactly happened but the police are suspecting terrorism.

I’m okay

I was far away from the attack in stockholm. Friends and family also confirmed safe.

The assailant is unknown and at large. We know nothing of the motive yet.

My capital in my country has now been attacked.

I am not blaming anyone but the person/people responsible. My thoughts go to the victims and their families.
