The Norwegian Social Democratic Party´s youth organization was having it´s yearly summer camp on the island of Utøya, outside Oslo, Norway.

Several hundreds young people where assembled, mostly Norwegians but also International guests, when someone dressed in a police uniform started shooting into the crowds. 10 people are believed to have been killed.

The shooter has reportedly been arrested. The reasons for his crazy actions have not yet been reported.

Meanwhile In Oslo city center, close to the government buildings, a bomb exploded today and killed 9 people.

My heart goes out to the victims of these terrible attacks and to their families and friends.I also think of all my friends in Norway and hope they and their families are safe.
