Two men have been detained on suspicion of violent crimes that occurred in Saarijärvi, Finland, involving the use of firearms and bladed weapons.

In Saarijärvi, Finland, the Pohjanmaa District Court has detained two men suspected of engaging in a violent rampage over the course of March 3-4. The suspects are alleged to have directed violence against associates at a detached house and a row house.
