Sword in the Schoolyard: A Grim Echo of Sweden's Past The attack on Brinell high school in Fagersta, Sweden, is a stark reminder that even in one of Europe's safest countries, violence can occur with little warning.
On Friday afternoon, an 18 year old former student stormed into his alma mater, armed with a sword and leaving a trail of blood and chaos behind him.
Local police responded quickly, shooting and detaining the assailant within minutes.
