Oh shit. I thought school shootings only happened in America. Or as my grandfather put it: seems we've caught the American disease...

Some nuthead killed at least 8 people at a school in Tuusula earlier today. My sister has a friend there, but luckily she wasn't hurt.
From what I've heard the Principal warned teachers and students to stay in their classrooms and lock the doors, and if they were on the second floor, jump out of the windows. She was later killed. The shooter shot himself in the head after the police arrived but he's still alive(if just barely). He apparently had some "idealistic" reasons for his deed... My sister showed me a journal entry he'd written only hours before the shootings. His thoughts sounded like a creepy mismash of Hitler's and Stalin's with some misuse of natural selection thrown in to justify what he was about to do.


I just don't know what to say.
