Finland's multiple shooting suspect has killed himself after taking five other lives. One of the victims is the gunman's ex-wife.
Grief shrouded Finland's second largest city of Espoo on New Year's Eve.
A gunman clad in black went on a shooting rampage, killing his ex-wife, then slaying four workers at a suburban shopping mall Thursday morning.
Seppo Ruotsalainen, Chief Superintendent, said, "The police took action and found four victims in the shopping mall, two in the first floor, two in the second floor. Three of the victims were males, one of them was female."
Police identified the gunman as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli, an immigrant who had been living for several years in Finland.
The fifth victim, identified as Shkupolli's ex-wife, had been found dead in an apartment in the city. Police say that she was a colleague in the shopping center.
Seppo Ruotsalainen said, "We received further information concerning the sixth victim and according to the information we have at the moment it seems that the sixth victim is the suspect of the whole incident."
The shootings prompted the city of Espoo to cancel its New Year's Eve concert.
