One person has been killed and nine injured after student wielding a sword and gun attacked a college in Finland on Tuesday. Armed police were called to the school and shot the student, who is now in a serious condition in hospital. Another eyewitness, Roosa Kokkonen, who works in a car garage opposite the college, told Finnish TV channel MTV that a teacher with blood running from her hand came fleeing out of the building. Violent crime is relatively rare in Finland, a sparsely populated Nordic nation of 5.4 million people. In 2017, two people were killed and eight injured in a stabbing attack in the main square of Turku, a city in southwest Finland.
