Helsinki - Police ordered students Tuesday to evacuate a trade school in western Finland after a student opened fire with a gun, reports said. It was not immediately known if any students or staff were injured. There were some 200 students in the building at the trade school in Kauhajoki, western Finland where the shooting was reported, public broadcaster YLE said.
In November 2007, a Finnish high school student killed eight people in a school shooting before killing himself.
The November shooting at Jokela, 60 kilometres north of Helsinki, triggered a series of threats against schools in Finland and its Nordic neighbours.
