VIDEO: Sweden school attacker ‘had racist motive’

The masked man who stabbed two people to death at a school in Sweden before being shot and killed by police had a racist motive and had planned the attack.

Police labelled the stabbing in the industrial town of Trollhattan as a hate crime based on discoveries they made when searching the man’s home, the way he dressed, his behaviour at the scene, and the way he selected his victims.

“All together, this gives a picture that the perpetrator had a racist motive when he committed the crimes at Kronan school,” police said in a statement.
