Sweden Moves to Prevent School Attacks After Deadly Sword Assault
The panel will propose new measures after a sword attack killed a 17-year-old girl and wounded three others, officials said.
- On Monday, Sweden's government announced a new commission to prevent school attacks, days after a 17-year-old girl was killed and three others wounded in a sword attack at a high school in Fagersta.
- Police detained 18-year-old suspect Liam Nebel after opening fire during the incident, with authorities stating over the weekend that the motive for Friday's attack remains under investigation.
- Minister for Education and Integration Simona Mohamsson told the press, "The idea of a completely open school is a good one, but reality means that we cannot allow unauthorised individuals free access to our schools."
- Referencing past violence in Trollh and Malm, Mohamsson noted, "In recent years, Sweden has seen several serious and deadly attacks on schools," as the commission prepares to propose new safety measures.
- Swedish media reported that the perpetrator had a previous assault conviction and carried a sword reminiscent of a 2015 attack in Trollh, where a 21-year-old killed three people.
