A masked man wielding a sword killed a teacher in an attack on a school in the Swedish town of Trollhattan on Thursday, authorities said.
Another teacher and two students, ages 11 and 15, were wounded in the attack and are in serious condition at the hospital in Trollhattan, hospital officials said.
Law enforcement officials said the suspect was shot by police shortly after the 10 a.m. attack. The suspect is now hospitalized in serious condition, hospital spokesman Niklas Claesson told CNN.
Police have entered the school, and staff and students are leaving, authorities said.
Trollhattan is about 420 kilometers (260 miles) west-southwest of Stockholm, the Swedish capital.
