Students at Brinellskolan in Fagersta face an uncertain future as anxiety grows over whether the school will even open next week. The community is still reeling from a violent incident on Friday where a man entered the school with a sword, killing a 17-year-old girl and injuring three others.

"We will be sitting there with worries, it will not be like usual," said student Julia Strömberg, expressing the deep unease felt by many. The school, once described by current and former students as a peaceful environment free from disturbances, is now the focus of shock and fear.

The immediate aftermath of the attack has left students grappling with the unknown. The primary concern is the potential closure of the school, adding another layer of distress to an already traumatic event. The lingering question of the school's operational status hangs heavy over the student body.

We will be sitting there with worries, it will not be like usual.
