Eight killed at Finland school after YouTube post
TUUSULA, FINLAND: Seven children were killed when a fellow student opened fire at a school in southern Finland on Wednesday, hours after a video was posted on YouTube predicting a massacre there.
The school principal has also died.
The gunman, who had walked through Jokela High School firing into classroom after classroom with a .22-caliber handgun, is in hospital after wounding himself in the head.
"Five boys, two girls and one adult woman were killed," police chief Matti Tohkanen told a news conference.
