“A chef student at a Finnish vocational school went on a shooting spree Tuesday, leaving 10 others dead before fatally wounding himself, officials said.
The 22-year-old student, identified as Matti Juhani Saari, shot himself in the head after opening fire with an automatic pistol inside the Kauhajoki school in western Finland”. He was transported to a hospital where he died of his injuries. When I read this article, of course I felt like re-living Columbine, Virginia High tech and the other shootings which took place over the years and which we read about in the news. The article says the Finnish police had questioned Matti Saari the day before the tragedy and that the school had a team of psychologists and social workers. I do believe they are not to blame because some people are really good at hiding their pain and their rage and if one doesn’t decide to let their feelings out, it is often difficult to anticipate what they will do. I think is good idea that schools and colleges should invest in resources so that those students who choose to get help, can. And for those who do not want help – or do not know they need help – we need people who are alert and do their best to notice unusual behavior. It’s really sad for me to think that young guys can do something so sad like that. I wish we could avoid tragedies as the one in Finland. Maybe one solution can be more love when they are children ??
