An 18-year-old former student at Brinell High School in Sweden killed one person and wounded three others Friday after attacking with a sword, authorities said.
The suspect, who had previously attended the school, was taken into custody by police. Officials did not immediately release a motive or details about the victims.
The attack unfolded during school hours in what police described as a rampage through parts of the campus. Emergency services responded to reports of an armed assailant and found multiple people injured, one fatally.
Swedish police said they are investigating the case and have not ruled out any line of inquiry. The injured were taken to local hospitals; their conditions were not immediately available.
The incident adds to a pattern of school violence in Europe that has prompted tighter security protocols at educational institutions across the continent.
Authorities said they would provide further updates as the investigation progresses.
