Police arrest [far-right] Finns Party MP over nightclub shooting [in Helsinki, Finland] ( yle.fi )

Edited a shorter ChatGPT summary due comment:

Finns Party MP Timo Vornanen's arrest following a nightclub altercation in Helsinki has sparked significant attention. Allegedly, Vornanen discharged a firearm into the ground after a confrontation outside the Ihku nightclub. The fact that Vornanen, a first-term MP, previously served as a police officer for over two decades adds a layer of complexity and concern to the situation. The decision by the Finns Party's chair to cancel scheduled appearances in response to the incident underscores its seriousness.

President Alexander Stubb's comments expressing trust in the Finnish justice system reflect the broader public sentiment regarding the need for a thorough investigation into the matter. Despite the lack of injuries, authorities are treating the incident as an attempted aggravated assault and firearms offense, highlighting the potential severity of Vornanen's actions.

The decision not to immediately detain Vornanen suggests that authorities are conducting a comprehensive inquiry before taking further action. As investigations continue, questions linger regarding Vornanen's motivations and the potential ramifications of his alleged behavior.

Apparently this semi-ex-copper carried the weapon during a parliament work day and to a karaoke bar to get shit-faced with. Carrying firearms is not at all common in the cities, outside of hunting in the countryside. A gossip rag was first to publish the information, which is also peculiar, as usually the police inform about gun violence very fast.

That ChatGPT summary is only slightly shorter than the article.

Yea, we aren't allowed to paste full articles in this community and another prompt gave a one paragraph summary with too much left out so

I can edit and update if 6 paragraphs is too much for rule 2 of the community. Mods hmu if that's the case

You don't need to paste the full article to give the basic information. People can read the rest for themselves if they wish. Quoting some select paragraphs from the article- there are a handful stating what happened and who the MP is. You just paste those. I can demonstrate if you'd like.

Oh didn't see you're one of the mods. I'm hoping for a usable summary where users don't need to hop off elsewhere. I'll prune some paragraphs in a min

Edit: done

You don't have to do anything. I wasn't talking to you as a mod, just a regular user here.

For anyone who isn't aware- I try to make it clear when I'm saying something officially as a mod.

Sorry for the confusion.
