A teenager is now being prosecuted for threatening pupils at a school in Kalmar, reports P4 Kalmar.

It was last winter that he wrote out plans for a school shooting on social media. The incident is classified in the indictment as unlawful threats.

The teenager is also said to have had a "low-velocity air weapon" at home. According to the police, this can refer to weapons powered by carbon dioxide, air or spring. He is therefore also being prosecuted for minor weapons offences.

He is said to have admitted to the incident, but denies any wrongdoing.
