One of the parents was 35-year-old Samuela Anno, who rushed to the school to pick up her 9-year-old son. Children emerged from the school without their outdoor jackets and clothes which they had to leave behind. Another mother, 50-year-old social worker Tanja Hietamies stood in line to pick up her 11-year-old daughter, also a pupil at the school."She said they were in a dark, locked classroom, not allowed to speak on the phone but could send messages," she told Reuters as she waited for her daughter to be let out, adding that the girl was scared and anxious.
