A pupil and a teacher at school in Sweden have died after a masked man with a sword entered the building.

Two further victims are seriously injured.

The attacker was shot by police and is undergoing surgery at a nearby hospital.

Eyewitnesses described chaos at the school, in the western town of Trollhattan, with hundreds of students fleeing from the building screaming.

A student told Swedish television that initially the pupils thought it was a joke:

"He had a mask and black clothes and a long sword," the pupil said.

Another pupil said the man was wearing a Star Wars mask, Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reports.

Police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg told the Associated Press the attacker was in his 20s and carried more than one weapon, including "at least one knife-like object".

Mr Fuxborg said police fired two shots, one of which hit the attacker. No motive was given for the attack.
