Fagersta students return to school following fatal sword attack

Students in Fagersta returned to school on Monday following Friday's fatal sword attack at Brinellskolan. High school students gathered at a crisis center rather than attending regular classes, while nearby Risbroskolan students dressed in black to honor the victims.

The attack left a 17-year-old girl dead and two teenage boys severely injured. An 18-year-old suspect remains in custody as forensic teams inspect the scene and officers conduct interviews. Prosecutor Ann-Sofie Trossing stated that "the investigation is already extensive" and noted it "will take time" to complete.

Returning students expressed shock, with some remarking that "it no longer feels safe at school." Local officials emphasized that immediate efforts remain focused on providing support.
