Tragedy in Tuusula

You might have heard the news of the tragedy in Tuusula, where a high school student decided to copy Columbine,  resulting in 8 dead (in English here and here, in Finnish here and in Spanish here).

Pekka-Eric Auvinen joins Petri Gerdt in the infamous list of Finnish teenagers who have caused these kind of mass killings.  I'm still in shock.
