A Madman's Work
Those are corpses on the Norwegian island of Utoya after a gunman, also suspected in yesterday's bombing in downtown Oslo, shot and killed 84 people. The attacker dressed as a policeman and beckoned those on the island retreat to come close to him before producing the first gun from a bag. Eye witness statements indicate that several of the victims initially pretended to be dead, in attempt to survive, but that the gunman proceeded to shoot many victims a second time. These secondary shots are said to have been to the head with a shotgun. Norwegian authorities have a suspect in custody. I have never seen a press photo of mass murder before.
