Finland shooting: Child dead and two wounded in Vantaa school shooting​


A child has died and two others have been seriously wounded in a shooting at a school in Finland, police say.

They said earlier that all three victims were 12 and that a suspect, also aged 12, had been arrested.

Parents told Finnish media that the shooting had taken place in a classroom at Viertola school in the city to the north of the capital Helsinki.
Police said they responded to the incident at 09:08 (06:08 GMT) and urged local residents to remain indoors.

In common with other Finnish schools, children had just returned to classes in Vantaa, north of the capital Helsinki, after the long Easter weekend.

Police said the suspect had run off after the shooting and was eventually detained "in a calm manner" on the other side of a local river in a northern district of northern Helsinki. They added that he had been carrying a firearm which they had taken from him.

Children were told to stay in their classrooms after the attack, public broadcaster YLE reported.
