RIP to all the people who died 
in this tragic incident. I heard that it was claimed by Al-Qaida, is that true? But the guy they caught was blonde and Norwegian.

Hi.
Recent police press conference:
They have found undetonated explosives on the island, and they have no idea how many people are dead there. The death toll of 10 is expected to rise.
32-year-old Norwegian arrested.
7 dead, 9-10 severely injured in the city.
Descriptions of clothing and appearance suggest the same person, who is now arrested after the shooting spree, was observed in both places.

Andy Bolt leading the way here on the Herald Sun web site - blamed Islam before any details confirmed.
WAC he is.

Don't like Bolt personally, but ****, everybody was blaming it on al-Qaeda before these details emerged.
Absolutely horrific stuff. Listening to one of the kids shot on ABC 24 is pretty chilling, I've got to say.

Yeah, so many news reports were talking al-Qaeda without looking at the evidence....
The fact that the bomber targeted a govt building in Oslo, and shooting of poor young Labour party supporters on an island retreat should've told these guys that there's something different in this modus operandi.

One bloke with one gun doing that is almost impossibly horrifying.

Bloody awful, it was bad enough in England last year with the nutter in Cumbria going on a killing spree then the guy a month later in Newcastle but this is horrific.

The really tragic part is that he targeted the youth.
Where was the security because one man killing 80 people is just a complete failure on the part of the police.

Literally thought they'd made a mistake on the BBC website when they said 80 people. Felt a little bit sick when I realised it was real.
Absolutely horrifying stuff though, can't even begin to imagine the scale of stuff.

91 they're saying now.
The Al Qaeda link seems very unlikely seeing as the arrested man is said to have ties with far right Christian fundamentalism and anti Islam.
