The investigation includes attempted murder and aggravated unlawful threats. According to District Attorney Arvid Wachtmeister, only one of the boys is suspected of involvement in the actual act.

"We are working extensively to collect evidence. The police have carried out a search of the minor's home and seized items that are now being analyzed," he says, according to the press release.

A girl was slightly injured by a knife at a school on Thursday. Shortly after, a video was posted on social media in which a boy says he stabbed someone and is being chased by police. The video refers to the online movement True Crime Community (TCC), which attracts people interested in - and celebrating - violent acts.
