In Finland, Teenager Kills Eight at School

An 18-year-old gunman killed seven other students and the principal during a rampage through his high school in this quiet Finnish town — and investigators suspect he discussed plans for the carnage in Internet postings in which he urges revolution and grins after taking target practice. Investigators said the gunman, who was not identified, shot himself in the head after the shooting spree at Jokela High School in Tuusula, some 30 miles north of the capital, Helsinki. He died later at a hospital. The teenager killed five boys, two girls, and the female principal with a .22-caliber pistol, police said.
