Oslo Police having a press conference now.

Saying at least 80 kids have been massacred.

[Eurotwit]

I thought it was worth a post.

I will post more updates in this thread as they come.

[muawiyah]

Thanks for the post. Looks like things are going to scale up rapidly ~ BE SURE to tell us when they reveal their security videos.

[eastforker]

WOW, How many perps, heard rumors of machine gun? Yeah, it’s worth a post.

[AnAmericanAbroad]

Holy crap.

That’s gotta be the biggest mass shooting I’ve ever heard of (in terms of number of victims in one incident).

Damn.

[Lurker]

Are you sure of this?

[gaijin]

That...would be the biggest gun massacre in history, I believe.

Can this be true?

[Dallas59]

Tragic...But we’ll all be under suspect now.

[Charlespg]

No hell way this was the work of just oneguy

[lahargis]

Speechless :-(

[Signalman]

There has to be more than one perp. It’s hard to believe one guy could cause all this carnage.

[arrogantsob]

That would be the equivalent of over 5000 in the US.

[SuzyQue]

Good grief. I hope that’s wrong.

[Earthdweller]

So senseless to kill a bunch of children like that. Why on God’s earth?

[Eurotwit]

It's a really tiny island.

A man with a machine gun and ammo. Fish in a barrel. I feel sick.

[BunnySlippers]

Oh my, so sad. This is the work of one man?

[gaijin]

The SoCal McDonald’s massacre was maybe 30 people. There was Columbine, but I think that was like 40 people. Then there was a South Korean policeman about 25 years ago, and he killed maybe 60 people.

I think this would be #1.

[Atlantic Friend]

Breivik killed eighty kids at the camp? Oh God, eighty?

[Free Vulcan]

EIGHTY?!?!?

Heartbreaking beyond belief.

*sigh*

[Eurotwit]

It was just an official press conference with the Oslo Police Department.

They said at least 80 have been killed. They also think it might rise some.

[SpaceBar]

Official number is now 87.

[Azzurri]

That’s gotta be the biggest mass shooting I’ve ever heard of (in terms of number of victims in one incident).

Looks like it very well may be:

[markomalley]

dang.

May God have mercy on those kids’ souls.

[eastforker]

I understand Oslo is where you hail from. My sympathies sir.

[Rashputin]

One guy shot eighty folks, hmmmmmm.

[Yaelle]

Oh my G-d let that not be true. 80 children. This is hard to fathom. How did this happen? How could the rest not escape? Oh, my precious G-d.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Phase II of Operation Gunrunner/Gunwalker has begun.

The push for global gun control begins now.

[The KG9 Kid]

The scene was a small porkchop-shaped island of a few dozen acres in size surrounded by deep water, full of innocent kids, and had zero security. Only way in was by boat. The bombing attack in Oslo was one hell of a law enforcement diversion.

Hideously well-planned terror attack.

[gaijin]

whoops! Columbine was actually only 12 dead, sorry.

[no-to-illegals]

Prayers for the murdered, their families, and friends.

[RC one]

This sounds like a terrorist act to me. It looks, sounds, and feels like a duck if you know what I mean.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

My thoughts exactly. No way one guys does this?

[Tzimisce]

1 guy killed 80 kids?

[naturalman1975]

Current record is 57 in South Korea in 1982 - at least when it comes to single gunmen. If more than one person was involved, it’s a different story.

[Yardstick]

80? If true, that is incredible and horrific.

I wonder what this does to Norway’s gun laws. They had been fairly permissive. Eighty people is traumatic enough that I could imagine it shifting public thinking on the matter.

[SpaceBar]

ABC radio news said the number is now 87.

[riri]

What would it cost to buy this much ammo in Norway?? Seriously, a cup of frikking black coffee is $5.

[umgud]

I can buy muslims or whacko’s doing something like this, but a right wing extremist? Perp has to have something wrong upstairs. This ain’t a straight political/idealogical massacre.

[Eurotwit]

The perp had three legal guns....

THIS will change Norway for a long time....

[RC one]

terrorists accept responsibility

[NikkiB]

Oh, G-d. How horrible. My brother and I decided to hop on a server and play some games with our friend in Norway because he couldn’t sleep. Next thing we know he goes “wait hold on, there’s a news conference” and then just complete sobbing.

I’m so, so sorry Eurotwit for you and all your countrymen.

[BunnySlippers]

The fact that it is an island is probably a factor. Captive victims, contained space.

[eastforker]

Very possible, weapons and ammo stashed on location.Never underestimate a man on a mission,

[BunnySlippers]

What is mind boggling is that one man could set off the bomb and kill so many people singlehandedly.

Horrifying!

[driftdiver]

Foxnews banner saying the same thing. at least 80 dead

[Eurotwit]

I have read his posts. He was intelligent.

Combine intelligence with a murderous intent....

[okie01]

God help the parents and siblings.

Amen.

[piytar]

Oh my God.

Any more info on the perp(s)? Was this in fact jihad? Have read conflicting reports.

[winodog]

When do they start the war on Jesus?

[eastforker]

Not mind boggling at all. I am sure we have many in our armed service that could plan a similar if not greater event.
