Four pupils and an adult have been injured at a school by a masked attacker with a sword in the city of Trollhättan in southwest Sweden, local media report.
At least one person is seriously injured with heart and lung damage, state healthcare communications manager Niklas Claesson said, as cited by DN newspaper.
Claesson initially said the suspect was shot dead by police but later recalled his statement, saying the man is still alive and that he "regrets" the previous comment.
