An 18-year-old armed with a sword attacked a school in central Sweden on Friday, killing one person and seriously injuring two others before being arrested, authorities said.
The attack occurred at Brinell School in Fagersta, northwest of Stockholm, while classes were underway. The school had roughly 400 to 500 students at the time.
Police Chief Tommy Alriksson said officers took the suspect into custody after responding to the school. Police fired shots during the arrest, and officers discovered the deceased victim as they entered the building to secure the area.
Authorities have not released a possible motive and said there was no indication that anyone else was involved. Investigators were reviewing available surveillance footage as they worked to determine what led to the attack.
The incident prompted nearby schools to go into lockdown, while authorities established roadblocks around the area. Fagersta officials opened a crisis center at a nearby sports hall to support those affected.
Police, firefighters and medical personnel responded to the scene, with regional officials saying many people were impacted by the violence.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed sympathy for those affected, noting that the attack occurred shortly after students returned from the summer break. The investigation remains ongoing.
