6 dead, including the gunman, according to reports. Seems he shot his ex-wife before heading to the shopping centre, killing four people, then killing himself later.
I know they've tightened their gun laws in recent years, but it's still a bit of a joke that basically any nutjob can go out and get a gun.
Finland has a very high suicide rate...and Finnish people tend to be VERY reserved in my experience so can easily imagine bottling up until they implode.
Of course possession of a gun isn't ideal on top of that...

it's more likely to be 5-1.

yeah you remember pekka the school shooter, well i talked to him and when i say talk i kind of attacked him on youtube for being such a sad case. he used to make vids glorifying the columbine people. the chap was insane. when i heard about schoolshooting in finland, i knew it was him. weird weird feeling.
