One person has died after an 18-year-old man allegedly attacked people with a sword at Brinell High School in Fagersta, Sweden. The incident occurred on Friday while around 400–500 students were attending classes. Two boys, reportedly aged between 12 and 17, suffered serious injuries. Police responded shortly after 2pm, and the suspect was shot, arrested and taken into custody. Several schools and public buildings in Fagersta were temporarily placed under lockdown. Authorities later said there was no continuing threat to the public. The suspect was reportedly a former student, while police investigations into the attack and its motive are ongoing.
