Norway Camp Shooting: 'As Many As 30 Dead'
http://news.sky.com ^ | 07-22-2011 | Staff

As many as 30 people are feared dead in a shooting at a Norwegian youth camp after a bomb in the capital Oslo killed at least seven.

Shots were fired by a man dressed as a police officer at a youth meeting of the ruling Labour Party in Utoya - an island on the outskirts near the capital.

An eyewitness reported seeing between 25 and 30 bodies.

Norwegian police said they thought there could also be explosives on the island.

Around 600 people were believed to be taking part in the summer camp - most of whom were teenagers aged between 14 and 18.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg had been due to attend the event.

One man was arrested after the incident - he was described as tall and blonde, and spoke fluent Norwegian.

Sky sources said he was shot and wounded during the arrest.

Police said they suspected he was linked to the bombing in Oslo.

Emilie Bersaas, 19, was on the island when the shooting started and said that people started running and screaming when they heard the gunfire.

"People are very shaken up as we do not know who is ok and who is not," she said.

"There are a lot of people I do not know anything about.

"It was terrifying - at one point, the shooting was very close to me and hit the building I was in.

"The people in the next room screamed loudly."

Sky's security editor Sam Kiley said a specialist swat team had carried out the arrest of the gunman.

As Stewie would say,

How’s that multiculturalism working for you? Huh?

Pretty good? Huh?

One of my dad’s cousins was in the Norwegian underground as a teen during WWII. He never spoke about it in fear of reprisals from Germany - even 50 years later.

He ended up a very wealthy businessman and had hunting leases throughout Norway. Oddly enough, he only owned one rifle - an old bolt action. Well, at least that is what the government thought.

In WWII, the first thing the German’s did when they came to a Norwegian town is go to the town hall and get the registrations of the guns, collect them, and question the owners, and in many cases arrest them.

My dad’s cousin hid under a pile of potatos in the cellar when the Nazi’s came looking for them guns and the men in his family. He never forgot that.

Yes, that is true

Sheesh, for every Arab, Turk, Palestinian, Asian, Black, or Balkan that Leaves Islam, they have umpteen witless Converts in the U.S. and even the U.K.

I don't understand it, maybe they are just really Liberal, or doing for a Boyfriend, I married a (former) Muslim Girl and she doesn't even understand it.

They like to fight unarmed children. What they do to women and to goats (adults or kids) is worse.

I think the governments of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and England should order several hundred thousand of those models - but they may have a problem locating a supplier today.

Meanwhile...some in the socialist government in Norway, just yesterday, called for attacks on Israel....go figure..(shaking head)

“The junior partner in the Norwegian government, the Socialist Left Party of Kristin Halvorsen, (Sosialistisk Venstreparti), plans to vote on a measure calling for military action against Israel if it decides to act against the Hamas in Gaza…”

Why do you only direct this message only to Europe when America finds itself in the same danger?

Quite an experience, I daresay a possible near death experience.
