Finland school shooting kills 10

A masked gunman opened fire at a trade school in western Finland on Tuesday, killing 10 people and burning some of their bodies before shooting himself.

Witnesses say the gunman entered the School of Hospitality in Kauhajoki, and began firing in a classroom where students were taking an exam. Police say the gunman left two handwritten messages at the school dormitory saying he had planned the attack since 2002.

Police had questioned the gunman just one day before Tuesday's attack, about YouTube postings in which he's apparently seen firing a handgun.

The latest shooting was Finland's second school massacre in less than a year and the two attacks had eerie similarities.

Both gunmen posted violent clips on YouTube prior to the massacres, and both were fascinated by the 1999 Columbine school shootings in Colorado.
