The school writes on its website that a "serious incident" has occurred at the school:

"Two students were stabbed and have been taken to hospital for care. The extent of the injuries is unclear. The incident occurred in the school's premises".

The whole thing is an isolated event, says a principal at the school to TT and continues:

The police consider the matter closed.

According to the principal, the incident occurred just before lunch on Thursday.

The police were quickly on the scene and have also spoken to witnesses, says the principal.

Unclear extent of injuries

The police's press spokesperson Evelina Åström says to TT that they were alerted to the school due to a fight.

Just before 12 o'clock, we were alerted to a school due to a fight. When we arrive, we find two injured people who have been taken to hospital by ambulance. The extent of the injuries is unclear.

The incident is classified as aggravated assault.

We have cordoned off the area to be able to handle any potential evidence, searching for traces and conducting interviews. So far, no one has been arrested, but we are looking for suspects in the matter.

"No threat"

Are you looking for one or several suspects?

I have no idea about that and I have no idea about how it happened. That's what we're trying to figure out, says Åström.

All activities are cancelled for the day and lessons will resume on Friday, the school writes.

As I said, there is no threat to the school, but this was an isolated very sad event. We have student health services on site, we will have occupational health services on site. So the school will be open as usual tomorrow, according to plan, says the principal to TT.
