Apparently a star wars mask. He was wearing “long dark clothing” a robe?

Weird stuff. Sounds like nutcase.

The kids thought it was an early Halloween prank.

Some reports that the perp had blue eyes.

90 percent of kids at that school are of immigrant, mostly muslim, background.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the attacker's name is not Sven or Bjorn.

A statement from the hospital said: “We have four seriously injured patients. All are in surgery right now. One is a teacher and two are students. One is 11 and one 15 years old. They have knife wounds.

“One of the injured is the suspected culprit. He is being operated on for gunshot wounds. A teacher died at the scene.”

This might be a picture of the actual perp.

Looks perhaps more like a nezi helmet and some sort of nazi coat.

Not confirmed though, but with some sort of mask, I could see how kids could think this was some sort of Darth Vader outfit.
