Quote from: MTV3
The shooter was interrigated monday on September 22th about videos posted to Youtube,
no reason to take away his permit for the gun was founded.

Shooter's identity is revealed, 22 years old Matti Juhani Saari.
Hes motives are still not clear and most likely will not be found out,
he shot him self to the head and chances to survive are slim...

Pictures from scene (Finnish site)

All victims knew the killer who passed away 4:46pm on the day of the shooting.
The last shooting victim is stable and feeling well.
The police is searhing the killers appartment for explosives and other weapons.

The police is now investigating the Youtube videos, some of them have been filmed by
some one else, whic means an possible assistant who could give the inside for the motive.

Yeah, I heard about the one last year. We were on holidays in Finland and every idiot kept on making jokes about it. One of my flagrant rellies over there knew someone who got shot in (a) school shooting.

Off topic? Not general discussion

BOOOM HEDSHOT !~@~~@!!~one!11!!

I hope you die in a fire, seriously

And i heard about this on school when i was doing some ICT things;
stuff that the same thing happens again
I hope that Matti the forgettard will survive and face the justice
Hopefully the police will be sharper next time

R.I.P victims

Number of victims risen to 11 (including the killer) D:

OH NOES SAVE TEH LAST GUY!

I don't see how it's even possible to avoid a school shooting unless the shooter goes around saying he is going to do it. All you have to do is literally walk in and open fire. There are rarely enough guards at a school to monitor every entrance, and no way to detect weapons unless you force everyone to step through a metal detector.

It's school, it should not be expected that children would or even could do it. Anyone who takes a weapon into school with them is an attention seeker of the highest order, and deserves to be taught some loving discipline.


im suprised the shooter didnt commit Self Delete

Yes, all good sane non-idiot school-shooters are supposed to add themselves to the death toll.

He tried to, but failed to die immediately. Also, now no one can single out the US anymore for nutso kids shooting up schools. /stereotype
