At least seven people died when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at a school in southern Finland yesterday, hours after a video was posted on YouTube predicting a school massacre.

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

"At this moment its seven (deaths) or more, higher," said Dr Eero Hirvensalo, the head of the medical response team, adding it was unclear whether the gunman was among them.
