Pekka Eric Auvinen was born on June 4th, 1989 in Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland to two musicians. He later moved to Jokela. He is named after Pekka Järvinen and Eric Clapton, hence Pekka Eric. His parents, Ismo Auvinen and Mikaela Vuorio, had two sons including Pekka. He was a shy kid, but he seemed very kind to everyone who knew him. He was a good student his entire life, except leading up to the massacre. He did not really talk to anyone, but would talk if someone talked to him first. He was bullied, despite what the school says. He was physically attacked and also verbally bullied by his fellow students. His parents attempted to help by telling the school and the bullies parents, which made it worse. He was seen as a mama's boy. He was seen as different. His parents were slightly strict, but he had a good relationship with them. He was not allowed to play violent video games. From a young age, Pekka thought of himself as superior to everyone else. Around 14, he got into communism and political ideologies. He became a Social Darwinist. He had been interested in history since he was young. He was heavily opinionated. Pekka enjoyed riding his bike, walking around, and he used to wear a black coat that was too big on him. Another thing often noted is that Pekka was easy to make blush. In April of 2006, Pekka was prescribed an SSRI. It did not work well so the dose was upped. Prior to this, Pekka was diagnosed with a panic disorder. He would get into true crime and is most often associated with being a columbiner.

Pekka, much like his parents, got into music. He made at least one song entitled “Antisocial Aggression”. He posted the song on a rapidshare file alongside text documents and photos of himself before the massacre. He had two youtube channels, Naturalselector89 and Sturmgeist89. 89 comes from his birth year, 1989, and Natural Selector is in reference to Natural Selection. In his introduction video, which he posted later on in his channel's career, you can hear his extremely loud computer as he talks briefly to the camera. In another video, he speaks while Antichrist by Slayer plays in the background before showing burning churches. He made gaming videos and edits. His final video was posted the day of the shooting, which shows him holding his gun after a photo of his school to the song Stray Bullet by KMFDM. He began to have problems with other youtubers due to the fact that he would post and praise killers. A youtuber by the name of “TheAmazingAthiest” would make a video titled “Re: Naturalselector89 is a sub par human”. He also named Pekka as a person who “needed to be kept an eye on” due to the fact he was a Social Darwinist and a Columbiner. TheAmazingAthiest says that someone should report people like him to the police, but he wouldn't do it himself. “Investigate those fucking people”. NaturalSelector89 was taken down on October 19th, 2007. He started a new channel named Sturmgeist89.

Tanascheel was a girl he became close to in 2007 who was from Germany. She texted with Pekka, saying she loved him and he responded in similar ways. She eventually got into a relationship with a different boy online named Steve. This saddened Pekka.

Pekka's mental health deteriorated throughout 2007. In October, 2007, Pekka bought a Sig Sauer semi automatic pistol and around 1000 rounds of ammunition. He attempted to buy a 9mm Glock, which was rejected due to Finland's rules on firearms, specifically for sport. On October 12th. He then was going to buy a .22 caliber Ruger MK pistol, which was accepted but unavailable for purchase. That led him to end up with the Sig Sauer. He was granted a gun license and was a part of a shooting club since August 31st of 2007 of which he went to one session. Having no criminal record was enough to help him obtain this weapon. He made a video titled “Me and Catherine” which was an edit of him and his new weapon the same day. Tanascheel would comment a congratulations and was met with hostility. Pekka would post a video called “Just testing my gun” where he did just that. This video is relevant since it was posted 2 days before the shooting. On November 6th, 2007, Pekka would attempt to apologize to tanascheel for how he treated her and TheAmazingAthiest for his comments. He said to tanascheel, “I guess it is time to say goodbye now. I have my destiny to fulfill. I'm serious. I'm quite sure I won't be talking with you or anyone else anymore since I'm probably dead when you read this.” Days before the massacre, he posted a rapidshare link with a manifesto, 2 more documents, photos of himself, and the Antisocial Aggression music file. He only mentioned once that he wanted to do something to an online friend. She did not take it seriously.

November 7th, 2007: We wore a shirt that said “Humanity is Overrated”. He missed the first class of the day purposefully. Pekka posted the video “Jokela High School Massacre-11/7/2007” at 9:30 am. Pekka got on his bicycle around 11:28 am (time he logged off his computer) and made his way to Jokela High.

11:37: Pekka arrived. He entered the school through the basement.

11:42: He shot and killed a student. He went to the bathroom and a student called emergency services due to the fact there was an “injured student”.

11:44: Pekka exits the bathroom and shoots 2 more students, killing them. A teacher calls the police and attempts to notify nearby students. Pekka shoots and kills another student. He also kills the school nurse. He shoots and kills another student.

11:47: announcement was made to keep students in classrooms. Pekka begins to fire his gun 53 times. He shouts and attempts to enter a classroom. He shoots the door 3 times. He then gives up and shoots at 2 more students sitting together. One of the students is killed. He then sprayed a wall with engine fuel.

11:54: he goes to the lunchroom and attempts to get inside but is locked out, causing him to shoot the door 5 times. He shouts “Come over here and open these doors or I'll get very angry!!” The students all flee. Pekka shoots at a teacher and he kills a head teacher near the pond outside of jokela high. She had gotten on her knees before he shot her fatally in the neck. Pekka went back inside and went into a classroom and he aimed but didn't fire at students. He spoke to them, but upon getting no reaction, he shot a tv and a window. A student pleased Pekka by knocking over a desk.

11:54: police arrive at jokela high.

12:04: Pekka shoots at the cops through the window but they do not break glass. Pekka shoots twice at police and goes back inside before heading over to the first floor bathroom and shoots himself in the head. He later died in the hospital.

Pekka left a suicide note behind. The police went to the home and asked if pekka was home and if his gun was at the home to which his father replied “what gun?” Since Pekka was 18, he did not need permission to purchase this gun and his family had no clue. His friends knew. His father found a and the suicide letter on his desk. Flags were flown at half mass. This was the second school shooting in Finland's history. Pekka has inspired numerous shootings since, including possibly the Kauhajoki school shooting and the Abundant Life Christian School shooting.
