Finnish police said that the body of the person believed to be the gunman who killed four people in a shopping mall in Finland has been found.

Police said they found the body of suspect Ibrahim Shkupolli in his apartment after he reportedly killed three men and one woman.

The black-clad gunman was reportedly still at large earlier Thursday morning after a shooting rampage at one of Finland’s largest shopping centers.

At around 3:15 a.m. gun shots rung out at the Sello shopping center in the town of Espoo, west of Helsinki.

State-run broadcasting company YLE identified the suspect as Shkupolli, 43, and said he was known to police. He reportedly used a 9-mm. handgun.

The gunman had killed his ex-wife in a nearby apartment building before continuing on to the mall, Denmark’s TV2 reported.

The gunman opened fire at Prisma supermarket in the shopping center, said Mika Pettersson, editor in chief of Finnish news agency STT.
