Teenage girl killed in Swedish high school sword attack; suspect in custody

A deadly sword attack at Brinell School in Fagersta, central Sweden left a 17-year-old girl dead and two boys (ages 12 and 17) seriously injured, with another person lightly hurt; an 18-year-old man was arrested and police are treating the case as murder and attempted murder. Police fired shots during the response, though it’s not confirmed whether the attacker was hit before he was detained. Prime Minister Kristersson and opposition leader Andersson visited the school as investigations continue; local reports say the suspect wore a helmet and may have been a former student. The region briefly declared a state of emergency on Friday, which ended by Saturday.

MLB Draft Overhaul Would Exclude HS Players and Shorten Rounds

MLB reportedly proposed a major amateur-draft overhaul in CBA talks: remove high school players from the draft, shrink the draft from 20 rounds to 12, make college players eligible after their sophomore year, and reduce the bonus pool from $358.7 million to $200 million. The proposal also states there would be no further elimination of minor league teams, but its adoption is far from certain as negotiations continue.

Defense Takes Stage as Frisco Teen's Murder Trial Moves Forward After Prosecution Rest

Prosecutors rested their case after calling 21 witnesses in the murder trial of Frisco teen Karmelo Anthony, who is accused of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Memorial High School track meet.
