Sword photo on TikTok before deadly attack at Swedish school

A 17-year-old girl was killed and three wounded in a sword attack at a school in Fagersta, Sweden, on 21 August 2026. An 18-year-old was arrested. Police are checking whether a TikTok account that posted a sword photo 20 minutes before the attack — and mentioned past mass violence and Breivik — belonged to the suspect. Sweden paused its election campaign.
