During the preliminary investigation, the police have gained an understanding of what happened in the restaurant Härmän Häjy in July.
There were about 20 people inside the restaurant when three men started shooting. Krista Luoma
Three men are suspected of shooting Härmän Häjy. The police have released one man from pretrial detention.
The man, born in 1993, is no longer suspected of firearms offenses and illegal threats. He has been involved in events, but did not fire a gun.
– He had a gun, but he didn’t shoot, says the crime commissioner Harri Teivaanmäki Ostrobothnia police.
Five people were injured when a dispute between groups turned into a gunfight at Pub Härmän Häjy on July 27. The mayhem began. The injured were left lying on the ground while the shooters and other customers fled the scene.
About 20 customers and staff members were there. The possibilities for an even worse outcome were great.
The order supervisor was in the line of fire

The restaurant’s surveillance camera tapes and interviews with witnesses have clarified the course of events for the police.
– You can clearly see who shot there. Who was hit will be clarified in the technical investigation, says Teivaanmäki.
According to Teivaanmäki, it doesn’t seem like the participants planned to meet and fight in the bar. The group spent time in the bar before the shooting.
– We will find out if there is any grudge in the background.
In any case, everyone had a handgun with them. Weapons were not permitted.
According to Teivaanmäki, the situation seems to have quickly escalated into shooting. The orderly supervisor tried to control the dispute, but got into the line of fire himself and was injured.

The police arrested several people from all over Finland. In the end, three of them were captured. One of these three, in 1993, has now been released from pretrial detention. The other two suspects were born in 1991 and 1977.
In addition, the police issued a search warrant for a fourth suspect and released his name and photo. The man, born in 1983, finally reported himself to the police. He, along with two other suspects in the shooting, is still in custody.
