Twenty-two-year old Matti Juhani Saari, the suspected school shooter in the most recent such incident in Finland, has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Saari walked into a vocational school in the city of Kaujahoki around 11 a.m. local time. Clad in black and wearing a ski mask, he began shooting students taking a test in one classroom.

Finland's interior minister says the death toll has risen to 11. It isn't clear whether or not Saari is considered part of the death toll.

A twist in this story is the fact that police had actually brought Saari in for questioning in the last week or so about the videos he posted on YouTube, showing himself at target practice. Police ultimately found no legal reason to hold him.

Wouldn't it be nice if one of these psychos lived to see prosecution, just once?
