Summary: Finland bewildered by deadly school shootings

In "Finland bewildered by deadly school shootings," by Marius Turula, it explains why school shootings happened in Finland. There are some reasons. First, police said that the people who did the massacres probably contacted each other before they did school shooting. Second, there is deep-rooted hunting traditions in Finland, so anyone who needs to have his/her own gun can buy guns, even young men. Third, Jouko Lonnqvist said that it has become a problem that depression is a mental illness, not only for middle-aged people but also for the young. Finally, Jerzy Sarnecki said that people who did school shootings are influenced by people who had done the same things; they watched these affairs through the media.
