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.  Click the photo to see in full size.
