Sweden to allow schoolbag searches after mass shooting

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 12 February 2025
Sweden's government is set to enhance school security following the country's deadliest mass shooting, which left 10 dead. New measures include requiring emergency plans, limiting school access to authorized individuals, and allowing teachers to search students' bags without warning. If approved, the changes will take effect on July 1, 2025. The February 4 attack was carried out by 35-year-old Rickard Andersson, an isolated individual with a hunting permit. Authorities are still investigating his motive. In response, Sweden also plans to tighten gun laws, particularly restricting access to semi-automatic weapons.
