They are expected to decide by noon on Thursday whether to ask a court to detain him or release him.<\/p>\n<p>An 18-year-old student at the school is already in custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after allegedly carrying out the attack while classes were under way.<\/p>\n<p>Two boys, aged 12 and 17, were seriously injured, while a third boy under 18 suffered minor injuries and was later discharged from hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Police fired shots during the operation to arrest the suspected attacker but he was not hit.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators initially said they had no reason to believe more than one person carried out the attack and have not publicly identified a motive.<\/p>\n<p>Police are also investigating whether the 18-year-old had links to online communities that glorify school violence.<\/p>\n<p>A TikTok account reportedly belonging to the suspect was taken down after the attack. Before it was removed, it contained videos glorifying school attacks and an image of a sword apparently taken inside a bathroom at Brinell School.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/88\/92\/94\/808x539_cmsv2_6d307955-6842-51b7-8dd5-fb5625f99930-9889294.jpg\" alt=\"Sweden&apos;s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, left, and Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson visit the memorial. 22 August, 2026.\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Sweden&#8217;s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, left, and Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson visit the memorial. 22 August, 2026.<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson visited Fagersta on Saturday and joined opposition leader Magdalena Andersson at a memorial to the victim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat must never happen has happened again,\u201d Kristersson said.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden has suffered several deadly attacks at schools in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Eleven people, including the gunman, were killed in a mass shooting at an adult education centre in \u00d6rebro in 2025, the deadliest mass shooting in Sweden&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, two female teachers were killed in an attack involving a knife and an axe at a school in Malm\u00f6.<\/p>\n<p>Three people were killed in Trollh\u00e4ttan in 2015 when a 21-year-old man armed with a sword attacked a school in what authorities described as a racist hate crime.

They are expected to decide by noon on Thursday whether to ask a court to detain him or release him.An 18-year-old student at the school is already in custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after allegedly carrying out the attack while classes were under way.Two boys, aged 12 and 17, were seriously injured, while a third boy under 18 suffered minor injuries and was later discharged from hospital.Police fired shots during the operation to arrest the suspected attacker but he was not hit.Investigators initially said they had no reason to believe more than one person carried out the attack and have not publicly identified a motive.Police are also investigating whether the 18-year-old had links to online communities that glorify school violence.A TikTok account reportedly belonging to the suspect was taken down after the attack. Before it was removed, it contained videos glorifying school attacks and an image of a sword apparently taken inside a bathroom at Brinell School.Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson visited Fagersta on Saturday and joined opposition leader Magdalena Andersson at a memorial to the victim.\u201cWhat must never happen has happened again,\u201d Kristersson said.Sweden has suffered several deadly attacks at schools in recent years.Eleven people, including the gunman, were killed in a mass shooting at an adult education centre in \u00d6rebro in 2025, the deadliest mass shooting in Sweden&#8217;s history.In 2022, two female teachers were killed in an attack involving a knife and an axe at a school in Malm\u00f6.Three people were killed in Trollh\u00e4ttan in 2015 when a 21-year-old man armed with a sword attacked a school in what authorities described as a racist hate crime. He was shot dead by police.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/08\/26\/second-arrest-over-deadly-sword-attack-at-swedish-school&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/88\/92\/94\/1200x675_cmsv2_b0678745-c94d-536b-a439-05d8260d2c05-9889294.jpg&#8221;] USA Data centre trap: Trump&#8217;s AI ambition puts Republicans on defensive Health news French flight attendant&#8217;s cancer recognised as occupational disease Europe News Wolf sightings rise in Italy after suspected attacks Travel News Boutique heritage hotel set to open in the heart of Ghent USA Data centre trap: Trump&#8217;s AI ambition puts [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2112338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2112338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2112338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2112338\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2112338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2112338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2112338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
