HELSINKI, Finland —
A teenager opened fire at a high school in southern Finland on Wednesday, killing one person and wounding three others, a municipal official said.
The incident would be Finland's first known school shooting.
Heidi Hagman, assistant to the municipality director in Tuusula, told The Associated Press that an 18-year-old man opened fire inside the Jokela high school, shooting four people and killing one.
She said three others had been wounded and the shooter was still inside the school, which had been surrounded by police.
"Some of the pupils have managed to escape from the school but others are still inside," Hagman said.
She said more than 400 students between the ages of 12 and 18 were enrolled at the school.
"There has been a shooting, but we can't say anything more at this stage," Senior Constable Tuomi Juola told The Associated Press. "Ambulances and police cars are on standby."
