Finland mourns slain pupils

November 08, 2007

Seven children and a head teacher were killed when a pupil opened fire at a school in southern Finland on Wednesday , hours after he posted a video on YouTube hinting at a massacre there. The 18-year-old, who walked through the corridors of Jokela High School firing into classroom after classroom with a .22-caliber handgun, died later in hospital after shooting himself in the head.
