"The situation is over now. He is no longer free. He has killed himself."Media reports say the shootings began just before 11 a.m. (0800 GMT) when there were some 200 students in the building at Kauhajoki, some 180 miles (300 kilometers) northwest of Helsinki.The Finnish news agency STT said that the school building was on fire and that the gunman possibly had explosives on him.Finnish media said YouTube clips of a man firing a gun appeared to be linked to the shooting. In one of them, a young man wearing a leather jacket fires several shots in rapid succession with a handgun at what appears to be a shooting range.The posting was made five days before the shooting and the location was given as Kauhajoki. The posting included a message saying: "Whole life is war and whole life is pain. And you will fight alone in your personal war."The shootings occurred almost a year after a gunman killed eight people and himself at a school in southern Finland.Pekka-Eric Auvinen, described by police as a bullied 18-year-old outcast, opened fire at his high school in southern Finland. He killed six students, a school nurse and the principal before ending his own life with a gunshot to the head.-FoxNews</blockquote>
