About four hours later, police got word that a man wearing camouflage clothing had been spotted near the center of the southern Finnish town of Hyvinkaa, Leppälä told MTV3.

Police were able to take the man calmly into custody at 7:45 a.m. local time, he said.

The suspect is a local man, Leppälä said, and a gun and other materials are now in the hands of police.

Regional chief inspector Markku Tuominen told MTV3: 'It is possible that there are more people involved in the case.'

He said the suspect did not have permission to have firearms.

MTV3 initially reported one death, citing the police.

Two of those wounded in the attack were in critical condition, a hospital official earlier told the channel. It is not clear if one of those victims died.

No information was released about the motive for the shootings.

Finland's President Sauli Niinisto expressed condolences to the family members of the victims.
