It appears that, after bombing the government center in Oslo, dressed as a police officer, the killer went to an island on which the Labour Party was holding a recreational event for teenagers. Posing as a police officer conducting an investigation, he asked a large number of children to gather in a crowd, and began to open fire. (Current counts seem to vary between 84 and 85 reported deaths among the teenagers on the island of Utoeya.
From BBC: Norway youth camp attack kills 84
At least 85 people died when a gunman opened fire at an island youth camp in Norway, hours after a bombing in the capital Oslo killed seven, police say.
Police have charged a 32-year-old Norwegian man over both attacks.
The man dressed as a police officer was arrested on tiny Utoeya island after an hour-long shooting spree.
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said many people were still looking for their children and had not so far been able to locate them.
He was speaking after meeting victims and relatives with Norway’s King Harald, Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon in the town of Sundvollen near the island.
These images, via the BBC, may help to illustrate the sequence of events. Motive will be harder to discern; the suspect in custody is believed to have right-of-center politics.
