"Law enforcement and hospital officials say the victims suffered cuts and slash wounds from a sabre-like weapon. The man was also carrying a gun, but police said they did know whether he fired it," YLE reports.
Officials say the suspect also started a fire at the scene, and that "carefully constructed" incendiary devices were discovered upon a search of his residence.

One woman was killed during the attack, and another victim was seriously injured, while eight others suffered non-life threatening wounds, including a police officer.
Officers discharged their firearms while confronting the suspect, seriously wounding him. He faces a variety of charges, but as he is in intensive care, police have been not able to interview him to ascertain a motive.
