TUUSULA, Finland (Reuters) - At least seven
people died when a gunman opened fire at a
school in southern Finland on Wednesday, hours
after a video was posted on YouTube predicting
a school massacre.

A teacher at Jokela High School told Reuters the
gunman was one of its pupils.

"At this moment its seven (deaths) or more,
higher," Dr Eero Hirvensalo, the head of the
medical response team, told Reuters.

The YouTube video, set to hard-driving music,
shows a still photo of a school that appears to
be Jokela High School. The photo then fragments
to reveal a red-tinted picture of a man pointing
a gun at the camera.
