(CNN) -- A 15-year-old student shot and killed a teacher inside a classroom in southern Estonia on Monday, police said.

There were four other students inside the classroom, but no one was injured, police spokeswoman Tuuli Harson said.

Investigators are working to determine how the teen got the revolver he used, and why he opened fire, she said.

"School personnel took away the gun and the boy was handed over to the police. All the students are safe. All the children have left school and are with their families," she said. "The police have checked all the floors in the building and nothing suspicious was found."

Many people in Estonia are in favor of the American way of life.

Estonia is one of the countries where anyone is allowed to have a gun in possession, it's easy to obtain a license.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

It was such a lovely place when I was there 10 years ago saddens me that society has become like this where young people find it necessary to carry weapons and use them for apparently arbitrary reasons.
