Day of mourning in Finland after student shot dead in school. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said he was “deeply shocked” by the shooting.
Police have a first idea of the motive for this act which they do not wish to communicate for the moment. The young suspect will not be incarcerated because he is under 15 years old and cannot therefore be found criminally responsible, said Markku Särkkä, in charge of the investigation. The Nordic country experienced similar tragedies in the early 2000s.
