By Xinhua,
Helsinki : A gunman Tuesday opened fire at a vocational school in northwest Finland, media said.
Police said several people were feared dead in the shooting in Kauhajoki, a small town 300 km from Helsinki.
A man with a ski mask went into the school building before the shooting took place, CNN cited a witness as saying.
The gunman, around 20-year-old, has been disarmed, news agencies quoted police as saying.
But a CNN report said the suspect has reportedly killed himself.
In November 2007, a gunman named Pekka-Eric Auvinen killed eight people and himself with a handgun at the Jokela High School near Helsinki.
