Sparse details at this time. I will update as the story unfolds. No indications of motivations or links to any specific groups. The attacker has been shot in the leg and is under arrest. May be more than one attacker.

ETA: posted links have been updated by their respective news sites. Looks like two fatalities, and six injured. Reports are one man and five women were attacked. One woman was pushing a stroller- I think she died from her wounds. No word on the child in the stroller. The other fatality is an unidentified man. So far only one man has been detained, but other suspects are thought to be out there. The attacks took place in Turku, Finland, near the city center. The Finish governement does not state any particular motives, but the Sun link has a video with very clear audio...the standard Islamic war cry can be heard repeatedly.

As reported on Heavy.com, the encypted messaging app Telegram is showing heavy activity amongst Arabic users. It is reported that this app is popular with known terror groups. Some local claims that the shouting heard is actually Finish for 'look out!' and not the expected 'allahu akbar'. ISIS (nor any other terror groups) are not yet reported as claiming responsibilty.
