Sweden's Reluctance to Confront Its Darkest Fears A recent sword attack on a high school in central Sweden has left several people injured and raised questions about the country's willingness to confront its own demons.
The incident occurred at Brinellskola in Fagersta, where police took one person into custody. Fagersta, with its 12,000 residents, is not immune to the societal issues plaguing larger Sweden.
Its proximity to Stockholm makes it difficult for the town to ignore the fact that this is a nation grappling with its identity crisis.
