"We have a number of people injured," said Stefan Gustafsson from the regional police force.
Mr Gustafsson confirmed that officers had shot a man on the premises.
"His conditon is unknown," he said.

Could be a terrorism, but wearing a mask sounds like something an ordinary nutcase would do.

Good guy with gun, stops bad guy with sword. It isn’t the weapon that kills, it is the outlaw wielding the weapon.

I read that the assailant is dead, and that at least 4 schoolchildren are injured.

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.”
