At least eight people were killed today when an 18-year-old gunman went on a shooting spree at a school in Finland.

At least 12 people sustained minor injuries during the shooting.

The suspected shooter is in critical condition. A hospital official would not say how he was injured. The AP is reporting that police sources say he tried to take his own life.

The AP is also reporting that the shooting appeared to have been planned out in videos posted on YouTube by Pekka-Eric Auvinen.

YouTube has appeared to have removed 89 videos linked to his account shortly after the shootings. Many of the videos feature Nazi imagery.

There seem to be a few similarities between this case and past American shootings.

The Columbine kids also expressed a fondness for Nazis. The Virginia Tech shooter videotaped himself shortly before that massacre.

Guess this most recent shooting dispels the belief that school violence is an American problem.
