Finnish Shooter Also Burned His Victims, Mainly Women

Eight of the 10 victims in yesterday's shooting at a Finnish catering and tourism college were women, but it may take investigators weeks to identify the bodies—which Matti Saari charred with gasoline bombs after shooting, the Times of London reports. A college official described Saari as a “silent young man,” and investigators told the AP that the trainee chef probably knew his victims.

"He really went out with the intention of killing," says a lead investigator. Saari would have been kept in custody longer when he was apprehended for questioning Monday had an incriminating video found yesterday surfaced earlier, police say. In it, he declares, “You will die next,” before firing his gun repeatedly.
