Stabbing at Swedish High School Leaves Multiple Injured

A stabbing incident occurred at a high school in Sweden on the 21st (local time), leaving multiple people injured, according to AFP and other media outlets.

At around 2:00 p.m. that day, an unidentified suspect went on a rampage with a machete at Brinell High School in Fagersta, southern Sweden.

Police shot the suspect in the leg to subdue them before making an arrest.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told SVT broadcaster, "The motive behind the incident is not yet known, but police are conducting an intensive investigation."

Fagersta is a small town with a population of 12,000, located about 100 kilometers northwest of Stockholm.

The high school is known to have an enrollment of approximately 450 students.

Previously, in February of last year, a random shooting at an adult education center in Örebro, Sweden, left 10 people dead.
