Finland shooting spree murderer 'selected his victims'

The attacker who killed his ex-girlfriend and four other people during a shooting rampage in Finland on New Year’s Eve apparently chose his victims and did not fire at random, police said.

Chief investigator Esa Gronlund of the National Bureau of Investigation told reporters that a preliminary investigation has indicated that Ibrahim Shkupolli’s method of shooting the five Finns, most of them at a shopping centre in the town of Espoo, suggest that he had planned Thursday’s killings, though the investigator declined to provide details.
