Before setting off on his rampage Auvinen uploaded a file package containing 21 media files to the internet. It contained pictures of himself, his firearm, Jokela High School, one undisclosed music file and three documents in Finnish and English. The longest text was the 'Manifesto of the Natural Selector' in which Auvinen explained his thoughts and rationale behind the shooting.
