The Associated Press has a story by Matti Huuhtanen about another school shooting, this time in Finland:A gunman opened fire Tuesday on students at a vocational school for adults in western Finland and then shot himself, police said. Finnish media reported that several people were killed.
The shootings began just before 11 a.m. (0800 GMT) as about 150 students went to class in Kauhajoki, 180 miles (300 kilometers) northwest of Helsinki. Witnesses said panic broke out as a hooded gunman entered the school and opened fire.
"Within a short space of time I heard several dozen rounds of shots, in other words it was an automatic pistol," school janitor Jukka Forsberg told broadcaster YLE. "I saw some female students who were wailing and moaning, and one managed to escape out of the back door."
Finnish broadcaster YLE, citing police at the school, reported that several people were killed. The Finnish news agency STT said the school building was on fire and the gunman reportedly had explosives on him.
Rico says these guys would do much better, since they're gonna do it anyway, if only they'd shoot themselves first...
