Finland

Knife-wielding attacker stabs eight people in sickening rampage leaving two dead in Finland
Excerpt: Armed police shot a knife-wielding attacker who went on a rampage 'randomly stabbing people' in Finland. Two people have died in what people initially believed to be a terror-related incident - although police say it's too early to be certain and said this evening it is NOT currently being investigated as such. ... Video footage shot from an upper floor of a nearby building earlier showed people fleeing in terror as cries sounding similar to 'Allahu Akbar' could be heard in the background - although it's being reported that this phrase sounds very similar to 'watch out!' in Finnish. ... The first photographs from the scene showed several people covered in blood - and at least one woman lying dead on the floor. An eyewitness described how a bloodied woman with a child “fell to the ground”. One local media report says that witnesses turned the child in the pram away so as not to see its mother covered in blood.
