Two teachers in their 50s were killed in a violent attack at a secondary school in Malmö, Sweden, according to police.
On suspicion of murder, an 18-year-old student at the institution has been apprehended.
The victims were stabbed, according to local media, but no firearms were used in the crime.
The two women, Malmö Latin School employees, were transferred to the hospital by ambulance but died as a result of their injuries.
Police say the man was apprehended just 10 minutes after the alarm was raised at a press briefing on Tuesday morning.
Officers arrived at a seemingly tranquil school, but the two injured women and the culprit were discovered on the third floor. He was discovered carrying an ax and a knife, according to Swedish news site Aftonbladet.
According to authorities, the 18-year-old man had no criminal past or a history of unusual behavior, but the inquiry was still ongoing. On Tuesday, police announced they will question the suspect and many others from the school.
The reason is unknown, and there is no indication of a strange connection between the student and two teachers at this time.
Petra Stenkula, the chief of police in Malmö, informed reporters that the suspect's residence was being investigated and that officers were interviewing other pupils and looking for any possible video footage.
She also said officers were investigating reports in Swedish media that the suspect called the police himself, allegedly admitting to having killed two people. Others also called the emergency services during the incident.
About 50 people, both students, and teachers were in the building when the attack took place. Police were notified at 17:12 (16:12 GMT) on Monday, and the suspect was detained by 17:22.
Police evacuated the school and searched its grounds, but found "no indication" of any more perpetrators.
Teachers and students informed local media that police entered the school with their firearms drawn and ordered them to stay in their classrooms for several hours.
The well-known large secondary school in Sweden's third-largest city. It began as a church school in 1406 and was relocated to its current location in the late 1800s.
According to the school's website, all classes scheduled for Tuesday have been canceled. Students will also have access to crisis support.
"This is dreadful," said headteacher Fredrik Hemmensjö, who added that the school has experienced "deadly violence."
It is the third knife attack at a Skne school in the last year, albeit no relation has been identified between this attack and the previous non-fatal events.
Officers stated that they were still investigating what caused the incident.
"Now we have a lot of work to do to figure out what transpired and what the underlying reason was for this awful tragedy," Malmö North police chief Anders Nilsson said.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson expressed her "sadness and dismay" at the news.
"Now the police and prosecutors must find out what happened," she said on Facebook, "so that the person responsible for this is held accountable for their acts."
