Kauhajoki, Finland, September 23, 2008--Mourners attend a candlelight vigil after an all-too-familiar tragedy--deadly school violence.

On the morning of September 23, a masked student went on a 90-minute killing rampage at Kauhajoki vocational college.

The murderer killed ten people before turning his gun on himself. Police had previously investigated the student for posting violent videos on YouTube that seemed to warn of such an attack.
