Gang shootout in Finland

An almost daily occurance in my hometown of Baltimore, but rare here in Finland…
A gang fight in the Sörnäinen area of Helsinki escalated into a gun battle that injured two people. Two gang members were taken to hospital with gun wounds, but are in not serious condition.
The fight broke out between members of the Bandidos and Rogues Gallery motorcycle gang near the Sörnäinen metro stop. The square was full of people at the time, many of whom were outside at nearby bar terraces. Nonetheless no bystanders were injured.
Police have arrested two men, and questioned a dozen others. Witnesses say that as many as seven shots may have been fired from pistols. The last one [gang shootout] was five years ago in Lahti, that resulted in the deaths of three gang members.
