Student on rampage in Finland

A chilling video message on You Tube could have warned students, teaching staff and the authorities of what was about to happen, yet the teenager was able to go ahead and complete his plan.

As it turned out five boys, two girls and the woman head teacher were caught up when eighteen year old Pekka Eric Auvinen went on a shooting rampage at the Jokela High School in the Tuusula municipality region north of Helsinki, Finland.

When finished he attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head, but initially survived, however he died later in hospital.

There were several other videos by the same poster; all related to the same subject matter however these have now been removed by You Tube.
