Sword attack at a school in Sweden

A masked and armed man with a sword wounded five people, including one adult and four students in a school in Trollhättan, western Sweden, declared Swedish police in a statement.

"I can confirm that a person is dead. I can't say anything about his identity," said the spokesman of Trollhättan Hospital, Lotta Abrahamsson. According BFMTV correspondent in Sweden it's one of the teenagers sent to the hospital.
"The confusion is great in school. Adults and students leave school rush," said the police in this text.
"There are many uncertainties on the identity of the man and his motivations but we know that around 10 o'clock he came armed with a sword in the school yard where teenagers have first thought a joke in this Halloween period," also explains our correspondent. "When we saw it, we thought it was a joke. He was wearing a mask and black clothing and a long sword. Students wanted to have their picture taken with him and touched the sword," he tells.

Police said he shot the assailant without providing details on his condition. Another teacher and two students of 11 and 15 were seriously injured. The assailant was "surgery for bullet wounds," said Trollhättan hospital in a statement.
The police call center was then informed that four students in the school were injured. "We admitted a critically wounded person," said an official of Trollhättan Hospital.
