⛓️ Arrests

A significant development in the Fagersta school attack investigation saw an additional individual arrested on suspicion of complicity, as authorities revealed the perpetrator had planned the attack for several days, outlining their motives. Meanwhile, a friend of one of the victims underwent surgery due to severe injuries sustained in the incident. Politically, early voting has officially begun across the country, allowing citizens to cast their ballots ahead of the main election day. This comes as a new poll indicates that the Tidö parties, representing the governing bloc of Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's Moderate Party, Christian Democrats, and Liberals, are gaining ground and closing the gap with the centre-left opposition, which includes Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats. In other domestic news, two boys were struck by a car at a pedestrian crossing, and a prominent figure has been indicted in connection with a separate car crash. Also, some high schools have controversially stopped serving meat, leading to dissatisfaction among students.
