    A gunman has opened fire at a college in western Finland, the country's national broadcaster reports.

    YLE quotes police as saying the incident, at a vocational school in the town of Kauhajoki, is ongoing.

    Police told YLE and another Finnish news agency they feared several people may have been injured, possibly killed.

    Last November a student shot dead eight people at a school in Tuusula. The level of gun ownership in Finland is among the highest in the world.

    A BBC correspondent in Finland said a gunman dressed in black was seen at the school, apparently carrying an automatic weapon.

    Police ordered an evacuation and called for reinforcements. There were reports of a fire at the site and of at least one injured girl seen leaving the school, our correspondent says.

    The country was unaccustomed to deadly shootings

    I'm pretty sure the Americans are the only ones accustomed to regular shootings...

    BBc - no confirmed fatalities yet.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    "Many may be dead"

    Hopefully it's not as bad as it appears.

    They've gotta blame something and metal music, video games etc are easy targets and a hell of a lot easier than examining the warped values of society in general.

    When I was at school, I often prayed that some of my teachers would get shot, but there was more respect then, so they only used to get hit on the head with a lead pipe.
