Eight female students, one male teacher and one male student are among the victims of the massacre at a vocational school in Kauhajoki, according to Finish Police reports.

The National Bureau of Investigation said all of the student victims were from the same class.

The 22-year-old gunman, Matti Saari, also wounded an additional female student before shooting himself in the head. He died later in Tampere University Hospital rising the death toll to 11.

The 21-year-old woman that Saari shot in the head is still hospitalized after having two operations.

Investigators further said the gunman set fires in the school that seriously burned the victims of Tuesday's massacre. It is still unknown if all victims have died from gunshot wounds or if some have burned in the fire.

Saari carried out the attack just days after drawing police attention with online videos of himself pointing a gun.

Finnish media focused heavily on how police, alerted to Saari's videos, questionned him Monday but did not confiscate the gun, on why Saari could get a gun in the first place, and on ways to tighten Finland's gun law.

Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen said Finland should consider banning private handguns altogether.

Gun ownership in Finland is among the highest in the world, but crime rates are low.

Finland has just begun to recover from last November's school shooting, when 18-year-old Pekka-Eric Auvinen killed eight people, and then himself.

Finnish media further talks about the similarities between the two shootings, including the use of YouTube videos and the same caliber handgun.
