The image appeared to have been taken in a restroom at the school, according to the Dagens Nyheter newspaper. One of the videos referenced a 2015 attack in which a masked swordsman killed a teaching assistant and two boys at a school in Trollhättan, western Sweden, before being shot dead by police. “The investigators are looking into various online communities that may have egged on the suspect to carry out the attack,” the police source said. Several party leaders cancelled planned speeches on Saturday, pausing campaigning ahead of Sweden’s 13 September general election.
