On Sunday, Breitbart posted an article about a recent incident at Brinell High School in Fagersta, Västmanland County Sweden. A teenager described as having a difficult upbringing attacked his fellow students with a sword. Swedish gun laws are restrictive, so this disturbed teen used a sword.

The article reports:

18-year-old Liam Nebel, a Swedish Swede has been officially detained by Västmanland District Court on Sunday on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after a sword attack at Brinell high school in Fagersta, Västmanland County Sweden on Friday. Authorities have now confirmed that there was one fatality in the attack, a 17-year-old girl. Three teenage boys were also injured, two seriously.

Police believe the slain girl was not a targeted victim but was rather killed at random, reports German newspaper Die Welt.

Suspect Nebel’s defence lawyer said that while their client had not confessed to police, he had nevertheless not contested the murder charge. He did, however, contest the additional charges of attempted murder. The teen, who is understood to have a difficult upbringing and who was placed into a foster home last year over “extensive” failings of the home environment was a current pupil at Brinell high school and consequently was able to access the site on the day of the attack with his student card.

The article notes that quick action by the police may have saved lives. The police had the situation under control within ten minutes of the initial telephone call. A School Resource Officer with a gun could have had the situation under control in less than two minutes.
