Three injured in misogynistic school knife rampage (DISTURBING VIDEO)
Three schoolgirls have been injured in a stabbing rampage at a school in the southern Finnish town of Pirkkala. The attack was allegedly carried out by a fellow student, who has been taken into custody.
The incident unfolded early Tuesday, when the suspect, 16, dressed in black, randomly attacked female students in the hallway of the Vahajarvi school in Pirkkala, around 180km (110 miles) north of Helsinki, which has around 1,200 children ranging from preschool age to ninth grade.
The suspect had a camera attached to his body and streamed his actions online, with disturbing footage of the chaotic attack making the rounds on social media.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident outside the school within minutes of the attack, local police said in a statement. A bladed weapon was seized from the alleged attacker.
Police said the victims' injuries were not considered life-threatening. One of the girls sustained a knife wound to her neck, another was stabbed in the waist, and the third in the hand.
Law enforcement said they have been investigating a written manifesto supposedly published by the suspect ahead of the attack, but did not elaborate on the contents.
Local media reports suggest that the manifesto described the suspect's intention to attack female students and stated that he had no friends and sought to gain fame through violence. The suspect also said he planned to surrender to police after the attack.
The suspect was reportedly planning the attack for around six months and used ChatGPT in preparation, for reasons that are not immediately clear.
A number of top officials have reacted to the attack. Education Minister Anders Adlercreutz took to X, saying: 'all violence in schools is unequivocally condemnable.'

Multiple injured in stabbing attack in Germany
Several people were injured in a knife attack at Hamburg's central train station on Friday, according to local police. A 39-year-old woman was arrested at the scene. The incident reportedly occurred at around 6:05pm on a platform just outside the station concourse near a waiting train. Local media reported that at least 12 people were injured, although police have not yet given a figure. Some of the injured were being treated on board trains at the station, according to Bild. 'There are no confirmed figures yet on the number of injured,' Hamburg police said on X. 'However, several individuals are reported to have sustained life-threatening injuries.' Police said early findings suggest the suspect acted alone. The motive remains unclear. A large-scale police operation is underway in the area. Authorities said an investigation into the circumstances was ongoing and that further details would be shared 'shortly.' Hamburg Central Station is one of the busiest railway hubs in Germany, handling more than 500,000 passengers daily. National rail operator Deutsche Bahn said train services would be disrupted due to the police operation, and warned of delays and partial cancellations. The episode is the latest in a series of stabbing attacks reported in Germany this week.
