Seven children were killed after a class mate opened fire at a school in southern Finland earlier today just hours before posting a video on YouTube predicting the massacre there.
Five boys, two girls and school principal were killed.
The gunman walked through Jokela High School firing into classroom after classroom with a .22-caliber handgun, is now in hospital after wounding himself in the head.
The YouTube video, set to a hard-driving song called “Stray Bullet,” shows a still photo of a low building that appears to be Jokela High School. The photo breaks apart to reveal a red-tinted picture of a man pointing a handgun at the camera.
