A sword-wielding masked attacker has killed a teacher and a pupil and seriously injured two others at a school in western Sweden.
A picture has emerged of what local media claims is the assailant posing for pictures with pupils shortly before the attack.
He is carrying a sword and dressed in a black trench coat, mask and helmet.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome?
Here’s what gets me in this story:
The police in Sweden carry guns?
Let me guess, now someone will call for “sword control”!
Teenagers reveal they initially thought the attack was a Halloween joke
Are there no sword laws?
Another report says a boy has died. Assailant being portrayed as right wing and anti-immigration.
I’d say he was a crazy gamer type like the columbine killers.
“The 21-year-old suspect” that’s all it says
Looks like post darth vader withdrawl syndrome. Or is it anticipatory looking for the next star wars flick to come out. Maybe he thought the sword was a light sabre. In any case, he gone.
Well it’s proof you don’t need guns to kill people you can do it the old fashioned way with cold steel, or clubs, rocks, arrows, poison and your bare hands.
***Assailant being portrayed as right wing and anti-immigration***
Ever notice how in the Scandinavian countries a right wing anti-immigration nut always attacks their own citizens and not the immigrants?
Something not right about it.
Blades must be the new thing. Had a machete murder in Dallas a week or so ago (black on white).
“Assailant being portrayed as right wing and anti-immigration.”
Of course he is.
Again, good guy with a gun shows up and end of story.
Isn't that exactly where England went after knife crimes jumped with the confiscation of guns?
No wonder he is angry. His parents never gave him a name.
This guy attacked all immigrants if I am not mistaken.
2 Somali children and one arab teacher.
