A second person has died after a masked man wielding a knife-like weapon carried out a stabbing attack at a school in south-west Sweden, the local hospital has said.
Swedish media reports said the second victim was a boy, but this could not be immediately confirmed. The first person to be fatally injured in the attack at the school in Trolhättan, an industrial city near Gothenburg, was a teacher.
Two other patients, believed to be pupils, remained in a critical condition, but one had stabilised, the hospital said. It was treating the attacker, whom police have identified as a 21-year-old man, for gunshot wounds, according to reports.
Police have said they do not know the motive for the attack. There were conflicting reports as to whether he was armed with a knife or a sword, or both, when he entered the school at about 10am on Thursday. Students locked themselves in classrooms and cupboards to escape.
Police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg told the Associated Press the attacker carried more than one weapon, including at least one knife-like object. Fuxborg said police fired two shots, one of which hit the attacker.
When we first saw him we thought it was a joke. He had a mask and black clothes and a long sword. There were students who wanted to go with him and hold the sword, a student told Swedish media.
Some witnesses said the attacker was wearing a Star Wars mask. Others took it to be a Halloween prank.
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.

Hard to believe.
That tells you all you need to know.
Well they did do gun laws so now it should be knife laws.
How long befor this guy gets invited to the White House with his sword collection?
Is his name ‘Mohammed’ or ‘Sven’?...............................
The perpetrator has died, per a press conference going on now.
They do continue to allow their otherwise-disarmed subjects to still buy knives without background checks, to own them without even having to be registered, and to store them UNLOCKED, where even children and the mentally ill have access.
Americans simply look at the Swedes with bemusement, dumbfounded. How can a society that savage enough to require that their people not own firearms for self-protection still allow them to own knives, given that events like this tragedy can and do happen? MAKES NO SENSE to civilized Americans.
All school zones should be NO sharp-pointy-dangerous-weapon-free-zones.
Disgruntled Viking maybe? I doubt it.
Recent “refugee” maybe? I highly suspect it.
They know who he is, and are searching his residence, but aren’t releasing his identity yet.
Was he Muslim?
Check out Sweden's most Wanted. All Muslims. No Swedes. Typical example below.
Ben Abdullah Wael Mahmoud
Howe many Viking descendants name their children Mahmoud?
Because he's not a Swede. He's a Muslim, and releasing his name or picture will inform everyone that another violent Muslim kook has murdered some Swedes. Had he been a Swede, they would have released this information immediately.
The Swedes need more of this. They need more of their people killed until they wake up and start killing or expelling the Muslims.
Their ideas about equality are just wrong, and it will take a lot of bloodshed to convince them that their ideas about equality are wrong.
Hopefully they won't lose so many people that they won't be able to stop the invasion, but they do need to lose enough to convince them that they are wrong.
Population of Sweden = 9.6 million.
190,000 / 9,600,000 X 100 = 1.97 %
Sweden is increasing it’s population by 2 percent annually with Muslim refugees.
I am Dan Park!
It was a Swede that killed immigrants that I presume were muslims.
2 school children and one teacher apparently.
False flag op to decimate support for the anti-invasion politicos.
