A gunman opened fire at a vocational school for adults in western Finland on Tuesday before shooting himself, police said. Finnish media reported nine people were killed and the gunman was wounded.


This was their second school shooting in a year. What's interesting is that I am IN Finland right now, so I think I'll be in a position to gauge the media reaction/coverage and people's sentiment versus that of the US (i.e. will there be "should guns be banned" arguments, etc...)
