Gabriel Pirela (20) lives and works right next to the crime scene, and says that things like this don’t happen often.
– But when it first happens, it’s incredibly sad.
It’s about the environment you’re in
Despite the violent incident, Pirela does not feel unsafe, because he believes that it is about the environment you are in.
– I’m not in that environment there, so I don’t feel very unsafe.

They still believe that the violent incident was a dispute between people who know each other.
– It’s a bit scary, of course, says Pirela.
– The way you hear about it on the news
Anne-Martha Torvik has lived at Teisen near Bryn for 20 years.
– This is the kind of thing you hear about on the news and which you don’t reflect on until it happens very close.
– I think it is frightening that it is happening so close and that it is happening in our town, says Torvik.

Usually it is quiet and peaceful in the area, says Torvik, who says that she has good neighbours.
– Are we perhaps living in a little bubble here in Norway, where we think that this kind of thing never happens here?
– I think we are starting to wake up now, but we are doing very well here in Norway. So I basically feel safe.
– Does not welcome it
Stein Bjertnes is general manager at Tool Depot. His shop is close to where the violent incident took place.
– It is frightening and sad that it is happening so close to our workplace.
– We do not welcome it in the neighborhood here at all.
Stein Bjertnes hopes that neither employees nor customers are afraid to return to his shop at Bryn.

Bjertnes says that it is usually a quiet and peaceful area, and therefore he hopes that people will not be afraid to go to Bryn.
– It is a pleasant area to work in and we have a lot of traffic from customers who shop in our store.
He hopes and believes that it was a coincidence that the violent episode took place there.
