At least 10 presumed dead, the shooter shot himself in the head but is still alive.

The attacker was a 22-year old student of the school, he raided the school with commando outfit and planted several fires along the school.
The police suspects also a bomb inside.

Walther P22 was used.

Golly-geen these sickos.

The prime minister already said changes to gun ownership laws will be made.

The guy posted a threat video on internet on friday, he was called for police questioning yesterday for it but they decided not to confiscate his guns after the review. How wrong they were.

So sorry to see this happening. The easiest thing a politician will do it to blame the tool rather than the person and it seems that they are already on the job.

You can't take a threat as anything but serious in a situation like this. I'd bet that the policy regarding threats is changed now but that's too late for the victims.

11 killed. (10 + shooter himself)

Please people don't speculate about what the police should or should not have done until a complete investigation is made. It is bad taste and easy with 20/20 hindsight. Finnish National Police Commissioner Mikko Paatero has given an initial statement that in the videos he was questioned for he didn't directly threaten anyone. That's where IMHO the speculation should end until complete investigation is made.

I am saddened by this tragedy and will say a prayer for the families and students involved.

We've had a rash of stabbings in this area.  Simply weird. 

Sad to hear what happened in Finland

[ChickenHawk]

A senseless tragedy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our Finish brothers today.

perhaps the authorities should now call in the kids parents? after all, he is/was a result of their parenting.

Russians, Ripley... Russians.

You, of all Europeans should know that disarming the public is not a wise choice. Criminals will always get guns.. outlaw them and honest citizens become prey. Disarm your countrymen and the nation will be prey.

I don't think many wars have been fought with personal sidearms - we do have an army with mandatory service for everyone.
