interuption for urgent prayer

(I hope it was ok to post this as an extra prayer request today!)

Lord have mercy
Finland Shooting Death Toll Rises to More Than Seven, MTV3 Says

More than seven people may have been killed in a school shooting in Tuusula, Finland, broadcaster MTV3 reported, citing Interior Minister Anne Holmlund.

“There seem to be many victims,” Holmlund told the Helsinki-based broadcaster in an interview.

Tuusula is a municipality of about 35,000 people located 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) north of the Helsinki.


Please, please pray for our nation -the Republic of Finland. It's in shock. This is the first ever shooting in a high school. The principal was killed and there are at least six other known victims.
Pray for the families of the victims and the man who did the shootings (Auvinen;who was a former pupil of the school)

Thank you all.
