Finland gunman who killed 1, wounded 8 is arrested

(AP) ? A gunman in southern Finland has killed one person and wounded eight others in what appeared to be a random shooting, police said Saturday.

An 18-year-old man shot at people from a low rooftop in central Hyvinkaa, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of the capital, Helsinki, said Markku Tuominen, officer in charge of the investigation.

The suspect was arrested early Saturday, he said. He did not resist arrest, Tuominen said.

An 18-year-old woman was killed in the shootings, Tuominen said. Two people were critically injured, including a police officer who arrived at the scene soon after Hyvinkaa police received an alert before 2 a.m. (2300 GMT Friday).
