   The attack took place in Turku, a city about 100 miles west of   
   Helsinki. Police shot and arrested one suspect.   
      
   A knife-wielding attacker killed two people and injured six   
   others Friday in southern Finland.   
      
   The attack happened in Turku, a city about 100 miles west of   
   Helsinki, the capital. One male suspect was shot in the thigh   
   and arrested, police confirmed. Authorities said he likely acted   
   alone, but have not ruled out the possibility that there were   
   others involved, the Associated Press reported. The   
   investigation remained ongoing.   
      
   The attack comes on the heels of two terrorist attacks in Spain   
   on Thursday. However, Finnish broadcaster YLE, citing police,   
   reported that the Turku incident is not being investigated as   
   terrorism at this point.   
      
   YLE reported that three victims were being treated in intensive   
   care late Friday.   
      
   Finnish President Sauli Niinisto visited Turku Friday and called   
   the stabbing a "shocking and cowardly act," according to the AP.   
   He also said officials are working "so that all Finns are able   
   to feel safe."   
      
   In a tweet after the attack, police urged people to move away   
   from the city center, and they later tweeted that they are   
   searching for additional suspects. The BBC reported the incident   
   took place in the Puutori-Market Square area.   
      
   The AP reported Finland's interior minister, Paula Risikko,   
   announced security is increasing across the nation. Police asked   
   the public to remain vigilant, particularly in airports and at   
   train stations.   
      
   Local reports showed video of what appeared to be a covered body   
   behind police tape.   
      
   Following the attack, a video emerged on Twitter that purported   
   to show the attacker and other people running.   
      
   Some initially reported that the attacker could be heard   
   shouting "Allahu ackbar," but others pointed out that it's   
   actually someone shouting "varo, varokaa," Finnish for "watch   
   out."
