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, which left a 17-year-old girl dead and two teenage boys severely injured. An 18-year-old suspect remains in custody while police conduct forensic scene examinations and witness interviews.

High school students gathered at a crisis center rather than attending regular classes, while pupils at the neighboring Risbroskolan dressed in black to show solidarity. Returning students expressed shock, with some remarking that "it no longer feels safe at school."

Prosecutor Ann-Sofie Trossing stated that "the investigation is already extensive" and confirmed it "will take time" to complete. Local officials emphasized that current priority remains on offering psychological support to students and staff.
