A man armed with a sword or a large knife entered a school in western Sweden on Thursday morning and injured five people before he was shot by the police, the authorities said.
No fatalities reported except the attacker, shot when police arrived.
This has been your regularly updated reminder that:
*) if guns are hard to get and not legal to carry around normally, criminals and crazy people will still get their hands on weapons to attack people, but not in fact guns, at least not as often;
*) it is really freaking hard to kill people with things that are not guns, even if you are a determined crazy person attacking a school;
*) America's gun violence is not normal and it is possible to behave differently as a country.
