Two Dead After Sword Attack at School in Sweden

Killer: The 21-year-old posed for this picture moments before he stabbed a second teacher in the attack in Trollhattan, Sweden.

[From article]
The 21-year-old man, who launched a sword attack on a school in Sweden and stabbed two teachers and two pupils, stopped to pose for pictures with students before continuing his horrific spree.
Wearing a mask and holding a sword already covered in blood, the attacker, stands next to two young students at the school, seconds before stabbing a teacher, who died at the scene.
Another teacher was rushed to hospital alongside the injured students, two boys aged 11 and 15. The 11-year-old later died from his wounds.
The MailOnline understands the suspected killer to be Anton Lundin-Petterson, from Trollhättan, north of Gothenburg.

The anonymous girl who took the photograph told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that they thought it was a Halloween prank when they saw the masked man.
As Lundin-Pettersson allegedly moved across the school during his attack, the young student had no idea that the blood on the large sword he was holding was real.
She told the newspaper that she had left her classroom to fetch a pen when she spotted two friends standing with a man wearing a mask and holding a blood-covered knife.

Thinking that the attacker had dressed up as a holiday joke, her friends wanted a picture with him, so she obliged.
Seconds after the picture was taken, their teacher came out of the classroom and told the killer to leave as he was scaring the children.
'He just nodded, then he plunged the large knife into the teacher's right side. The last thing I heard him say was "call an ambulance".'

Kronan is located in an area of Trollhattan with a diverse population and many of the pupils are first or second generation immigrants.[. . .]
Police responded to an emergency call saying a masked man equipped with a sword was on the premises and that a person had been attacked at or near the school cafeteria, police said
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Tomas Fuxborg of Västra Götaland Police called the attack 'one of the worst events in Swedish history'.
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, who was heading to Trollhattan, described Thursday as a 'black day.'

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has also made a a statement in the wake of the attack:
'Sweden is in shock. It is with great dismay and sorrow that my family and I have received the news about the events in Trollhättan.
