He supposedly also uploaded a vid on youtube yesterday, but it got removed few minutes ago. He also posted a long letter on this "myspace-type" Finnish site called irc-galleria.net where he babbled about all kind of antihuman stuff and "survival of the fittest" etc..

He supposedly also uploaded these files yesterday

There's no accurate number of how many have died, some sources still say one dead three wounded, some say three dead and five wounded, and couple newspapers write on their site that seven are dead and the shooter is also dead. Well it's ****ed up anyhow..

Apparently the shooter has tried to shoot himself. But he missed. sm2
Even one victim is too much. But luckily there is only 7-8 dead and under 20 people were injured.
Edit. But he did die eventually...
