Finland mourns school shooting victims

Finland mourns the eight people killed by an 18-year-old gunman at a school yesterday, hours after he posted a video on YouTube foreshadowing a massacre there. Canada.com reports.

"The gunman, who had a keen interest in war history and extremist movements, died late on Wednesday.

Across Finland, flags were half-staff and many churches planned services to remember the victims.

Tech-savvy Finns set up mobile telephone text message chains to organize memorials for the victims."
