First, the Vantaa school shooting.

Finland has a flag of mourning today because of the school shooting in Vantaa.

The flag is at half-mast in government offices. In addition, the Ministry of the Interior hopes that all of Finland will participate in the mourning.

A memorial service is held in Vantaa because of the school shooting.

The shooting happened yesterday Tuesday in Viertola school in Vantaa. The shooter and the victims are 12-year-old students at the school.

Then about Finnish schools.

Schools regularly train for dangerous situations.

Students practice acting in various dangerous situations, for example in a school shooting.

The students practice, for example, how they can leave and go to shelter.

Spare doors have been built in schools so that students can escape more easily.

Pupils also learn to pile obstacles in front of the door if a violent person comes to school.

Finnish schools train for dangerous situations.

Education and training director Timo Jalonen says that in Turku, for example, exercises are organized every year.
