This article doesn't really have anything that wasn't in yesterday's story. --SVTCobra 22:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the article before I wrote this. According to it - at least at the time of writing this article - the killer is still in critical condition in hospital. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 07:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's not true. His death was added with this edit 22:53, 7 November 2007. This article wasn't started until 21:32, 8 November 2007 some 22 hours later. --SVTCobra 13:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Very strange... I don't know where I got that from, I re-read that article several times and can't for the life of me make out where I got that from; as I did check the article prior to starting this. But no matter; I owe you an apology for my mistake: I am sorry. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 17:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


"When police SWAT teams arrived on-scene [...] "

These are not called "SWAT teams" in Finland; rephrasing to "special units". Naphra 22:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That seems reasonable. I did raise an eyebrow at the source when it told me "SWAT teams". Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 07:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The part where it says the teams to arrive at the school were shot at: I remember reading a story that said a shot was fired in response to their arrival, but nothing to indicate definitively that the shot was fired at police, or that there was more than one shot.

See this, cited as a source in the article. It doesn't say how many shots were fired; consequently, I have deliberatly left this open-ended. It does, however, make it clear the police say the shot(s) was/were fired at them. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 21:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
