"The shooting at a school in Kauhajoki comes less than a year after the Scandinavian country was shocked by the murder 
of eight people at a school by a gun-weilding teenager.

Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18, killed seven fellow pupils and the headmistress at Jokela High School in Tuusula,
30 miles north of the capital Helsinki and around 200 miles from Kauhajoki where the most recent shootings took place.

Auvinen turned the gun on himself while surrounded by heavily armed police in November last year and died later in 
hospital.
He carried out the killings after uploading a film titled Jokela High School Massacre to YouTube, the video-sharing 
website.

The film had similarities to the video posted to an American television station by Seung-Hui Cho,
the student who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech in April last year."
