HELSINKI—A male student armed with a sword killed a woman and wounded nine others in an attack at a college in eastern Finland on Oct. 1, which the prime minister described as “shocking.”
The suspected attacker, who is in his mid-20s, used “a saber-type of bladed weapon,” chief inspector Mikko Lyytinen said in the city of Kuopio, where the attack took place. The motive for the attack was not clear.
