Police: island shooter fired for 90 minutes
Friday, July 22, 2011
OSLO, Norway (AP) -- Norwegian police say a gunman fired at youths on an island retreat for 1 1/2 hours before surrendering to police, and that it took them 40 minutes to reach the island after they were called.
That shooting spree came just hours after an explosion at a government building in Oslo on Friday. Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim said Saturday that blast was caused by a car bomb.
At least 87 people were killed on the island.
Another seven died in the earlier bombing.
