This is the best summary I could come up with:
Parents told Finnish media that the shooting had taken place in a classroom at Viertola school in Vantaa to the north of the capital Helsinki.
The suspect ran off as soon as police arrived and was eventually detained “in a calm manner” in the northern Siltamaki district of Helsinki at around 10:00.
Children under the age of 15 are not criminally liable in Finland, so the suspect has not been remanded in custody and is instead being placed in the care of social services.
As news emerged of the shooting, parents gathered at the school to pick up their children, although the building where the incident took place remained cordoned off.
In 2007, an 18-year-old student shot dead six pupils, the school nurse and his head teacher in the small town of Jokela north of Helsinki, then the following year another student shot dead nine pupils and a teacher with a semi-automatic rifle at a polytechnic in the western town of Kauhajoki.
