According to the police, the siege is over. The man who barricaded himself inside the apartment shot himself with his hand gun. He is treated at Kuopio University Hospital, and his condition is critical.
Police have dismantled the outer insulation. The house located in Relander street and it's yard are considered isolated for purposes of the investigation so far. Police forensic spot.

Varkaus' Police announced half three on Friday that the gunner had once again shot through the apartmen's door to the staircase. No one was injured.
The situation began when police went to catch the last night's alleged suspect of knife attack shortly before noon.
The victim had life-threatening injuries, but his condition has been stable and he has come out of the hospital.
The police were behind the apartmen's door when the man begun shooting throught the door, but no one was injured. Moments later, fire was opened from a window to the same apartmen's courtyard at the police dog, who was wounded.[/QUOTE]

Just how fortified was this guy's house? And what's up with that face on the back of the police van in the last picture? [QUOTE][IMG]http://static.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/varkausjuttu327mp_uu.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
He's santa claus, the police forces are running low over here so they had to recruit him
Hope the police dog wasn't hurt too bad.
Poor dog.
Anyone got a backstory to this? been living under a rock for the last few weeks and haven't really followed national news.

I rated this chunk of it funny because of the nicely-done translation until I realised that I'd rated an article about a gunman killing himself funny.
I think I need to be a bit more aware of the threads I'm in.
Why was he under siege to begin with? I didn't see it in the article

He's not dead yet, either.

Edit: He was suspected of knife attack and officers were going to arrest him but then he probably tried to shoot them.
I live in the town this happened in, I think the police still have the apartment building closed up with police lines.
