He has been taken into custody after being shot in the leg, police say.
The incident reportedly took place in the Puutori-Market Square area. Police have warned other attackers may remain at large, and asked people to stay away from the city centre.

It now seems that events started at the Market Square, then proceeded to the other square and the police apprehended a suspect within minutes therein.
The police did report 8 victims, out of which 2 dead, but a rep of hospital said that 9 patients have been taken in, out of which one is dead. The suspect is hospitalized and yet not identified.
Earlier, local news claimed that there was a covered body on at least one of the squares. As such the counts of deaths are not conflicting.
It seems quite likely that there were no more than one perpetrator. Surveillance video coverage of the market square is supposedly guite good.

I saw a picture of him as he was being put in an ambulance, supposedly. I haven't tried to verify the authenticity of the photo, maybe someone can confirm?muppetts wrote:...He has been taken into custody after being shot in the leg, police say...
Anyway, it appears he was, indeed, shot in the leg - His "third leg." IOW - Butters must be a Finnish policeman.
TLDR - They shot him in the pee-pee. His wanker. His favorite toy. His Johnson...
Ouch. I can't confirm that's the case, but the pic I saw seemed to indicate that.
The official statements all use phrases: "lower part of the body" and "thigh". The police fired exactly one shot. Hitting the much larger object is plausible, don't you think?
The current charges are for two murders and eight attempted murders with terroristic intent.
Four persons linked to the attacker were arrested during Friday night and there is an APB for an out of country person.
Attacker targeted women; the two injured men tried to help a victim/slow down the attacker.

I can't verify the authenticity of this photo. I could not find an unedited one. From the little I could research, the clothing and wound location seems to match some photos I saw taken on the scene, but that obscured the upper body.
It doesn't matter to me where he was shot, really. He appeared to be attacking women, so perhaps it's poetic justice? In any event, what matters is that he was stopped.
