HELSINKI - One woman was killed and 10 injured at a college in eastern Finland on Tuesday when a male student attacked his fellow students and staff members with a sword, Finnish police said.
Nine victims were taken to Kuopio University Hospital, its chief physician Antti Hedman said, adding that the two seriously injured patients were in stable condition.“Eight of the patients were less seriously injured, mostly with wounds from defending themselves. Two of the ones in a better condition were already sent home,” Hedman said.
At the time of the attack, there was also a small, deliberately lit fire on the shopping center’s second floor but police did not confirm if the attacker had started it. Finnish newspaper Iltalehti quoted a witness as saying that a student had come to class with a large bag, taken out a sword and attacked a teacher.
