Correction. Two people died.
Or are the reports wrong?
2 victims, 1 teacher, 1 child have died. The assailant is in surgery at the moment, with gunshot wounds.
What? It's kind of surreal reading about this first on neogaf and not in a Swedish newspaper.
And sad. Sad that it's not the first time something like this happens and sad that the psychiatric reform in the late 90s was shit.
Anywho, what a fucking nut. And I'm glad we have very strict gun laws here.

What "news places"? AFAIK they have not released any information other than that the attacker is 21 years old.

Horrible news. My thoughts go out to the family of the victims.
Flashback is a disgusting, disgusting place. Within minutes of the first report they were manufacturing facts about the perpetrator to push their racist agendas.
Pretty much ever single thread about crime. Now, once again, when they realize the perp is white and an ethnic Swede, "the background of the guy doesn't really matter" they say.

His facebook that is linked on sites, is the same profile photo as that link you just posted to. So yeah.
I checked that profile.
Quick summary of videos 'liked' -
Pro-Gamergate videos
The Amazing Atheist anti-Anita videos and various stuff about feminism, religion and stuff
Five Nights at Freddy's
Lots of prank calls about videogames (including Duke Nukem and GTA soundboards)
Family Guy
South Park clips

Possibly fake.
It's now confirmed that it's the attacker.
Wasn't Flashback the place where a bunch of people encouraged a guy to commit suicide live on webcam?
Guy probably even has an account there.

Thank fuck he only had a sword and not guns. RIP.
Aftonbladet Gives the age of the assailant as 21 years and being a resident of Trollhättan.
Yeah, that was pretty messed up. I remember the thread. The guy set up an FTP server on his computer and posted the details, and his webcam would dump images taken ever 1-2 seconds of him while he did it.
Also nazi and Hitler related videos. There's "Deutschland Über alles", "Nazi mega-weapons" etc

Horrible news to wake up to.
RIP to the dead.

Well, yeah, a Gamergater killing people at a school introduces another facet to the events leading up to this.
Seems like the life and motivations of mass murderers seem important to people until they happen to be things those people like too.

RIP.
This is really fucked up, attacking schools.
And after I read "Trollhattan" I thought it could be some kind of fake/joke article in the end but sadly it isn't

I don't understand your point or why this should be true at all. I really doubt it.
Most of that isn't relevant, so expect the media to fixate on it. Probably have Sarkeesian herself on talking about it.
I just remember reading that people were psychologically more afraid of knives than guns. I don't think it had any bearing on what was going through this guy's mind though. Just thinking out loud I guess.

Not exactly. He could have easily made some sort of justification for these actions as 'he was driven to do it by evil feminists' or something. We don't know for sure yet, but the fact that the feed is filled with Amazing Atheist videos, and I mean FILLED, talking about stuff like 'false rape accusations are real' and 'buzzfeed feminism' and 'fuck transphobia' and 'this feminist said kill all men' and 'hell yeah gamergate' it gives you a window into the kind of world the attacker looked through.
Just speculation so far, but looks like it could be racially motivated. He has liked videos of speeches by Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson, his immediate family seems quite xenophobic according to sleuthing people have done on their Facebook profiles, and the school he attacked had a high ratio of immigrants.
If he's a sexist he's probably a racist. The school has a non-white majority and suspect is white.
Yeah, it's way too early to speculate given our limited info, but he might have just been a misogynist in addition to whatever other fucked up.things he was.
Of course I understand that. People filled with hatred often hate more than one thing. I'm not saying that his motivations were solely feminism related, I'm saying that it gives you a clue what his mentality was.
Possibly fake.
Usually I'd just consider that pretty stupid looking, but it's creepy given the context.
RIP, so fucked up! A grown up man stabbing kids
Also, people commenting on different articles pushing their racist agenda before knowing the identity of the guy... smh. "The liberal PC media would have said it right away if he was an ethnic Swede, they are trying to protect their cultural marxist ideology blablabla". What's wrong with people? I love how everything left from extreme right is labeled as marxist, socialist, PC etc.

Yes. Well, it's not the sole motivator and no one said it was, but since the attacker appears to be not only a racist shitheel but also appears to be a Gamergater at the same time I think that's worth bringing up.

Better image:
Possibly fake.
translated from swedish article:
Edit: I've seen people mention a starwars mask, I guess they're talking about a Darth Vader one? Looks like a cut up airsoft or paintball mask, or just some flimsy plastic.
