Yeah Ibrahim Shkupolli, 43. Went to Espoo mall and killed 4 people he also killed women inside some other house.
Apparently he had some releasonship problems with that women.
Here us quote from BBC news:
[quote]Four people have been killed by a gunman at a shopping centre in the Finnish city of Espoo, police say.
Three men and a woman were shot dead with a 9mm pistol at the Prisma grocery shop in the Sello centre. Police named the attacker as Ibrahim Shkupolli, 43.
Another Prisma employee was later found dead at a flat in Espoo. A sixth body, which police believe is that of Mr Shkupolli, has also been discovered.
Thursday's bloodshed reportedly broke out at about 1008 local time (0808 GMT) inside the Prisma grocery store, on the second floor.
A witness told YLE that the gunman appeared to have opened fire at random, and that at least one employee was left lying on the floor afterwards.
The Ilta-Sanomat newspaper said one man was shot twice in the head and a woman in the stomach. It is not known if they were among the dead.
Another witness said chaos had ensued after the shots were heard.[/quote]
However i doubt he was Finnish citizen.
[quote](CNN) -- A sixth person has been found dead following the shootings in a town near Helsinki, Finland, police said Thursday.
They said it is believed the sixth victim is the shooter, who police had previously identified as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli.[/quote]
There is very little info about why did he do this or where did he get his gun. Victims identities are still unknown.
Oh dear, and here i was thinking that Finland was a relatively gun nut free country.

With the 11 year old kid or something stupid like that?
Ugh, video games will be undoubtably blamed for this if they find that he has ever played any game in his life.
Been all over the news. They think he shot himself, not confirmed last time I saw any news.

He looks nothing like a finnish person and the name screams middle-east.

Also I was there few days ago, scary.
He looks a bit like Robert De Niro
What a shitty way to start off the new year.
What's wrong with Finland? why does this kind of shootings keep happening there?
This is my local shopping mall, one of my friends apparently witnessed the thing as he's working in the grocery store opposite to the one where the shooting happened. I was supposed to go there today :(

Your friend was lucky he didn't work at the one with the shooting as the shooter apparently targeted the employees.
I was already getting worried we wouldn't get a tragic shooting this year. Wrong. :(
We've had couple of school shootings as well. This and last year, we'll see if one comes the next year!

Yeah and it was incidentally his last day at work over there for now.
By the way, he was surprise surprise from Suvela (a notorious part of Espoo) and has apparently committed multiple crimes in the recent years including possession of illegal firearms, assault and I guess some kind of burglary attempt
Oh and he's said to be from Kosovo but the police apparently hasn't confirmed that
[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk;19322864]Yeah that name sure isn't finnish.[/QUOTE]
So? A lot of people might had been born somewhere else but are still citizens of Finland.
I know some.

I'm fairly sure there's a large population of Muslims in part of Europe as well
I live in Finland and that guy is not Finnish. He's from Eastern Country. Maybe Russia or something. I heard about this in radio and TV. Now the mall is peaceful. But it's closed, until crime scene is clear.
Media doesn't say that he has a nationality = he doesn't have a nationality.
(When it comes to foreigners, if the nationality isn't mentioned it's usually a foreigner)
But what if he had the nationality? Would we still be hurr durr close borders. (On other forums the mentality is this)
[QUOTE=ser770;19323149]What's wrong with Finland? why does this kind of shootings keep happening there?[/QUOTE]
There is nothing wrong with Finland. That guy just tried to make things clear by killing people. Like school shooters. I know that this shootout causes lots of racism in Finland, because shooter was foreigner.

Checniyan muslim?

I think he is from Russia or maybe Slovakia. Or Ukrainian..
Albanian from Kosovo.

Yeah, Finland is a very racist country. You have no idea how many times I've been called with insulting names for foreigners while walking on the street just because of my looks (my father is Greek and mother Finnish so I look foreign because of my genes, even when I've lived here all my life).
[quote]Shooter to his girlfriend: "Something bad is going to happen"
Ibrahim Shkupolli's ex-girlfriend, one of the victims, had sought for a restraining order for the man based on persistent death threats made by him, which the Espoo district court then also ruled.
The woman told that she had been in a relationship with the man for 18 years before breaking up with him. Threats and harassment followed the end of the relationship.
The woman worked in Sello, and the restraining order was also applied to the shopping center and the woman's summerhouse in Mikkeli. The man objected to the court's ruling.
The man had been following and observing the victim. He had also come to Sello to threaten the woman. [u]The man had also threatened people who knew her and was said to enjoy knowing she was afraid of him.[/u] He had said that something bad was going to happen.[/quote]
