Damn!! According to swedish newspapers 7 people are confirmed dead...

Fatal shooting at Finnish school
At least three people have been killed and several others injured in a shooting at a school in southern Finland, officials say.

Police have given no details of the victims' injuries in the incident in the town of Tuusula, some 50km (30 miles) north of the capital Helsinki.

Finnish media reported that the shots had been fired by an 18-year-old man at the town's Jokela secondary school.

Police inspector Tero Haapala said later the situation was under control.

Mr Haapala said that "there is no danger to outsiders", without commenting on reports that police had arrested the gunman.

The school building is still surrounded by police and ambulances.

'Jumped from windows'

A Tuusula municipality spokesman said the gunman opened fire during a lesson at Jokela secondary school, Finland's STT news agency said.

Students and staff fled in panic, and a number of heavily armed police were later seen rushing to the scene, STT reported.

Kim Kiuru, a Jokela teacher, said the head teacher announced over the school public announcement's system just before noon (1000 GMT) that all students should remain in their classrooms.

"I stayed in the corridor to listen to more instructions having locked my classroom door," Mr Kiuru told Finland's YLE radio.

"After that I saw the gunman running with what appeared to be a small calibre handgun in his hand through the doors toward me after which I escaped to the corridor downstairs and ran in the opposite direction."

Mr Kiuru said he saw a woman's body as he fled the building. He said he then told his students to "jump out of the windows... and all my pupils were saved".

Some media reports suggested a message on the YouTube website was linked to the shooting.

Jokela school has more than 400 students aged 12 to 18.

It is the first reported shooting incident at a Finnish school.

Uhhh.. there's bound to be more deaths I'm afraid. I just noticed it myself, checking out newspapers on web. I actually know someone who lives in that place, called to make sure that everything was OK. He isn't going to that school, but you never know it's such a small place. It's pretty ****ed up to call someone to make sure they didn't die in a school shooting anyway. Also, the father of that dude is the principal, I heard that the principal got killed so I was like damn, but I remembered wrong, he was a principal in ANOTHER school. Phew!

Hopefully there aren't any copy cat ****ers out there, getting ideas.

You know, when did this problem of student school shootings start in earnest? To me it seems like a social phenomenon that was sparked by the Columbine shootings. Because before Columbine, I had never even heard or seen anything like it.

Wtf...this disease is spreading world wide.

Spec.

I'm glad I'm not in school anymore. Bad teachers and unfinished homework were the worst I had to deal with.

[Pekka]

Riesstiu, exactly. It's like when something like these things happen, there's bound to be more. Idiots get stupid ideas and inspiration.

Anyway, here's the "manifesto" of the killer:

"I am a cynical existentialist, antihuman humanist, antisocial socialdarwinist, realistic idealist and godlike atheist.

SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM! JUSTITIA SUUM CUIQUE DISTRIBUIT! SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

I am prepared to fight and die for my cause. I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection.

You might ask yourselves, why did I do this and what do I want. Well, most of you are too arrogant and closed-minded to understand... You will proprably say me that I am"insane", "crazy", "psychopath", "criminal" or crap like that. No, the truth is that I am just an animl, a human, an individual, a dissident.

I have had enough. I don't want to be part of this ****ed up society. Like some other wise people have said in the past, human race is not worth fighting for or saving... only worth killing. But... When my enemies will run and hide in fear when mentioning my name... When the gangsters of the corrupted governments have been shot in the streets... When the rule of idioracy and the democratic system has been replaced with justice... When intelligent people are finally free and rule the society instead of the idiocratic rule of majority... In that great day of deliverance, you will know what I want.

Long live the revolution... revolution against the system, which enslaves not only the majority of weak-minded masses but also the small minority of strong-minded and intelligent individuals! If we want to live in a different world, we must act. We must rise against the enslaving, corrupted and totalitarian regimes and overthrow the tyrants, gangsters and the rule of idiocracy. I can't alone change much but hopefully my actions will inspire all the intelligent people of the world and start some sort of revolution against the current systems. The system discriminating naturality and justice, is my enemy. The people living in the world of delusion and supporting this system are my enemies.

I am ready to die for a cause I know is right, just and true... even if I would lose or the battle would be only remembered as evil... I will rather fight and die than live a long and unhappy life.

And remember that this is my war, my ideas and my plans. Don't blame anyone else for my actions than myself. Don't blame my parents or my friends. I told nobody about my plans and I always kept them inside my mind only. Don't blame the movies I see, the music I hear, the games I play or the books I read. No, they had nothing to do with this. This is my war: one man war against humanity, governments and weak-minded masses of the world! No mercy for the scum of the earth! HUMANITY IS OVERRATED! It's time to put NATURAL SELECTION & SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST back on tracks!

Justice renders to everyone his due."

This is all George Bush's fault.

[Chemical Ollie]

Tragic!

There has been some speculations that the shooter is hiding among the persons who are treated for injuries at hospitals.
