Finland observed a day of mourning on Wednesday, a day after a 22-year-old man burst into a trade school and opened fire.

Eight women and two men were killed before the man shot himself. The attack was Finland's second deadly school shooting in less than a year.

Finland has deeply held hunting traditions and ranks among the top five nations in the world when it comes to civilian gun ownership. Many are now calling for tighter gun laws.
