apparent terror attack happening in Turku Finland near the bus station where i just left

my hands are trembling, this is too much... never thought anyone would strike here

knife men running around according to witnesses, shots heard.

fuck fuck fuck so many friends live here, and i work in the hospital where the victims go.. oh man this hits WAY too close, i dont wanna panic but im trembling.

i survived a near death ICU experience 2 years ago, i cant deal with shit like this when it hits the same continent, right next to me is just surreal

help me out gaf :/ i hope im overreacting and the news is bogus but i doubt it

 

[Measley]

Being reported by the American media (CNN, MSNBC).

Please be safe in Finland guys!

 

[sazzy]

[RangerX]

Just saw this on the news. They said several people have been stabbed. Keep safe Finnish gaf.

 

[Syf]

Looks not bogus. Get yourself somewhere safe.

 

[RinsFury]

I am praying that nobody is seriously injured besides the attackers. Stay safe.

Stay safe Finland

 

[PalaceBrother]

I'm glad you weren't hurt - hopefully all of the victims survive. Terrifying.

 

[Breakage]

Heard it here on the radio LBC (UK). It's not bogus.

[victreeb3l]

Dude stay safe man!

 

[wbEMX]

Holy shit. Stay safe, man.

EDIT: One of the biggest news outlets here in Germany also broke the news a minute ago. This is so fucked up.

 

[Audioboxer]

It's hit BBC

[oddj0b]

Be safe!

 

[xAngelicNinjax]

i should have brought my self defense tear gas..

Hope everything is safe for you, try to just calm your mind.! But I have to ask, can you really buy tear gas?

 

[u_neek]

Be safe, mate!

Man, all this shit that's going on :/

 

[WhatNXt]

News reporting the (or an) attacker has been shot in the leg and apprehended

 

[kami_sama]

Shit.
I am really glad you're here with us man.
But damn, I didn't think I would learn of a terrorist attack first hand on here...

 

[backflip10019]

Go somewhere safe. Glad you're ok.

 

[Jamiaro]

Stay safe, Turku!

To op: Voimia, en osaa kuvitellakaan miltä sinusta tuntuu.

 

[outunderthestars]

Go somewhere safe. Glad you're ok.

This. Get to safety.

 

[brainslug]

Sad and horrifying that this is happening in my country. :'(

Stay safe, fellow Finnish gaffers.

 

[TimeEffect]

Youre ok now man. I hope you get to unwind with some drinks and friends or video games, have a good weekend

 

[Arkhanor]

Stay safe, FinlandGAF!

 

[DonShula]

So hopefully it's already over? Be safe regardless.

What a terrible week it's been.

 

[Jezan]

Stop posting and go to a safe area! Can you stay in a building? Something that's not a bank or a station.

Pay attention to your surroundings, locate exits .

 

[Aurongel]

Hearing about a terror attack on GAF first is a really unsettling thing. It's a reminder that shit like this really can happen anywhere.

Stay safe man.

 

[Akronis]

Hope everything is safe for you, try to just calm your mind.! But I have to ask, can you really buy tear gas?

Pretty sure he's talking about pepper spray.

 

[Beartruck]

If you work in the hospital where the victims go to, id head over right away and see what you can do. Be a hero man. Stay safe.

 

[Smellycat]

Another one?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Jesus. I hope you don't have work today, and if so I hope you call off. My nerves would be shot to hell rest of day. Stay safe, and hope those stabbed make it.

 

[whytemyke]

Fuck! Finland is awesome and super peaceful. Can't believe that would happen there.

 

[oddjobs]

fucked up.

vitun vittu.

 

[Damerman]

Calm down and stay safe man. Stay level headed.

 

[H1PSTER]

Why would you attack Finland of all places?

These people aren't that smart are they?

OP You're fine, go to a space you feel safe and wait there until you're moved by police.

 

[KingK]

Damn, I'm glad you're safe. What an awful week this has been

 

[Tovarisc]

At Puutori one possibly dead and at least 2 wounded, according eyewitness.

At Kauppatori one dead and several wounded.

[DasPenguin]

News reporting the (or an) attacker has been shot in the leg and apprehended

Possibly two assailants.. One shot and The other I have no idea. Casualties are low, one elderly woman badly hurt.

I'm currently in Turku as well. Although this might be terrorism, we have had our share of local crazies as well who have attacked with a knife against random people. Just few weeks ago some mentally ill person drove his car against pedestrians in Helsinki, killing one person.

 

[syllogism]

I wouldn't trust international sources on this. One attacker as of now. Apparently a passerby with a baseball bat attempted to stop the attack. The person who was shot by the police at is also the person they apprehended.

 

[sixteen-bit]

wow, stay safe.

 

[Kassu]

Glad I'm visiting my parents and not in Turku right now

Stay safe TurkuGAF

 

[LinLeigh]

Play some tetris or something equally intensive.

Studies have shown that this makes the chance of trauma or invasive memories a lot smaller.

 

[Ferr986]

What the hell, not again

 

[plagiarize]

Give the fuckers nothing.

You are alive. You are safe now.

Don't give them an ounce of power over you. This is one of those times where fear should turn to hate, and that hate should be aimed at the people responsible for this, and only them, with a laser focus.

 

[Jumeira]

This is awful, I'm sorry to hear that, my heart was racing reading your post.

Stay safe brother. Stay resilient Finland, you lovely peaceful people.

 

[M52B28]

If you haven't done so, stop posting on here and just get to somewhere secure (any private building) and stay secure.

I hope you're well.

 

[FelixTheSexranger]

Happened 600m where I am now.

Damn chaos.
