News 80 people dead in Norway after a camp shooting (update from 2011) - Page 2

OSLO, Norway (AP) — A Norwegian who dressed as a police officer to gun down summer campers killed at least 80 people at an island retreat, horrified police said early Saturday. It took investigators several hours to begin to realize the full scope of Friday's massacre, which followed an explosion in nearby Oslo that killed seven and that police say was set off by the same suspect.
The mass shootings are among the worst in history. With the blast outside the prime minister's office, they formed the deadliest day of terror in Western Europe since the 2004 Madrid train bombings killed 191.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told reporters Satyrday that he had spent many summers on the island of Utoya, which was hosting a youth retreat for his party.
Utoya is "my childhood paradise that yesterday was transformed into Hell," Stoltenberg said at a news conference in the capital.
Police initially said about 10 were killed at the forested camp on the island, but some survivors said they thought the toll was much higher. Police director Oystein Maeland told reporters early Saturday they had discovered many more victims.
"It's taken time to search the area. What we know now is that we can say that there are at least 80 killed at Utoya," Maeland said. "It goes without saying that this gives dimensions to this incident that are exceptional."
Maeland said the death toll could rise even more. He said others were severely wounded, but police didn't know how many were hurt.
The island is about 500 yards (meters) from one shore of Tyrifjorden lake, an oddly shaped body of water that is 15 miles (25 kilometers) at its longest and 8 miles (12 kilometers) at its widest.
A suspect in the shootings and the Oslo explosion was arrested. Though police did not release his name, Norwegian national broadcaster NRK identified him as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik and said police searched his Oslo apartment overnight. NRK and other Norwegian media posted pictures of the blond, blue-eyed Norwegian.
National police chief Sveinung Sponheim told NRK that the suspected gunman's Internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but whether that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen."
A police official said the suspect appears to have acted alone in both attacks, and that "it seems like this is not linked to any international terrorist organizations at all." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because that information had not been officially released by Norway's police.
"It seems it's not Islamic-terror related," the official said. "This seems like a madman's work."
Stoltenberg said Saturday morning that it was too early to comment on the gunman's motives.

Not many. Naïve children with no means of escape made easy targets for this monster. The details of the attack are really heartbreaking.

He brought a big box of ammo with him to the island. The kids helped him carry it onshore.

The killer: Anders Behring Breivik. Kind of looks like Stuart Smalley.

Seems the terrorist wrote a book detailing how he was going to do this and wanted to acquire nuclear weapons. wowsa

Unfortunately, there is no capital punishment in Norway. This guy doesn't deserve another breath.

They said this morning on the Today show the longest prison term for any crime in Norway was 21 years. I can't believe that. They must have a special clause for nut cases.

Right. I read the 21 year deal as well, but some Norwegian added this guy will get life because of some 'special clause.'

Sad story. Wife and I were in Oslo last March. Lovely city, very laid-back and peaceful and easygoing. They're just not prepared for stuff like this, and were definitely a "soft target". Sadly, life will never be the same for them.

Prisoners deemed a threat to society can be held for much longer. I'm guessing that's going to be the case with this guy.

It should also be noted that Norway's recidivism rate is remarkably low, probably due to their penal system's emphasis on rehabilitation over punishment. It turns out that when you treat people like humans, they're more likely to act like humans. Huh.

Anyway, they're probably going to make a special exception for this evil mother****er.

The Prime Minister seems to think if anything this will make the country more open, more democratic. Stark contrast to our own situation.
