Norway Police Say at Least 80 Killed in Youth Camp Shooting

At least 80 people were killed on Friday when a gunman stalked youths at an
island summer camp for young members of the governing Labor Party, the police
said on national television early Saturday.

Before the shooting attack, explosions in Oslo killed seven people and wounded
at least 15, the police said, according to the state television broadcaster.

After the shooting the police seized a 32-year-old Norwegian man on the island,
according to the police and Justice Minister Knut Storberget. He was later
identified as Anders Behring Breivik and was characterized by officials as a
right-wing extremist.
 

The man was arrested in connection with both attacks.

A gunman dressed as a policeman killed at least 80 people at a summer camp, police have now revealed.

The suspect is reported to be Anders Behring Breivik
7:41AM BST 23 Jul 2011

The death toll rose sharply after police began recovering bodies from the water surrounding the Utoeya island outside Oslo, where the shootings took place.

The attack at the youth camp came just hours after a bomb attack outside government buildings in Oslo killed seven people.
A 32-year-old man, named by Norwegian media as Anders Behring Breivik who has reported links to the far-Right, was being questioned by police in connection with the attacks.

Initially the number of dead on the wooded island was put at 10, but early on Saturday morning they said they had discovered more bodies and that the gunman had killed at least 80 people.

The mass shootings are among the worst in history and is the worst violence to hit Norway since the second world war.
