Nine dead after Finland school shooting
‘A teenage gunman who killed eight people in a high school rampage before turning the weapon on himself has died in hospital.
Seven students and the school principal died when 18-year-old student Pekka-Eric Auvinen opened fire at a school in southern Finland yesterday, hours after he posted a video on YouTube foreshadowing the massacre.
Witnesses said Auvinen walked through the corridors of Jokela High School firing into classroom after classroom with a .22-caliber handgun.
Police said Auvinen came from “a very normal family”. [..]
The YouTube video, set to a hard-driving song called Stray Bullet by the industrial rock band KMFDM, shows a still photo of a low building that appears to be Jokela High School.’
