Finnish shooting (sad story)

what do you mean "the" shooting? is there a specific event?

Thank- you.

  You forgot to mention: The shooting got place in a school in a kinda small town.

  Of course I've heard... You know, everybody talks about it. Less surprising, at school also.
I personally was born in the town the shooting took place... but I haven't been there for six years.

  Sad, it is. <---(Yoda-talk)

  Finnish schools were known for their Safeness! And now...
All my classmates didn't even come to school because of this!
  Personally, I'm not afraid. I guess this won't happen again too soon. Or hopefully never again.

  No one can feel safe.

  Unbelievable. Shortly: He had 500 shots with him... Quite an ammo, right? Enough to kill the whole school!

The 'gunman's (above) name was Pekka-Eric Auvinen.
His own words on Youtube:

  “I am a cynical existentialist, antihuman humanist, antisocial socialdarwinist, realistic idealist and godlike atheist. 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. Well, most of you are too arrogant and closed-minded to understand. I am ready to die for a cause I know is right, just and true. This is my war, my ideas and my plans. 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! HUMANITY IS OVERRATED! It’s time to put SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST back on tracks!"

Everyone does, for sure. But you make it sound like you knew some of the people... ?

  And yes, all the flags were not-as-high-as-usual. The seventh of November will be remembered,
not today only.

Yeah, Sharra, that's what we think here too.

And Terron, no I don't know any of the victims, it's just that I feel those deaths were unnecessary, and if someone would have noticed that this Pekka-Eric was crazy... I heard he was planning about two weeks before the seventh of November, so maybe his friends or relatives could have done something...
