The house was built in 1968 by a group of young men who decided that the rock on the river was an ideal place for a tiny shelter, according to the house's co-owner, who was among those involved in its construction.

OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian police said Saturday a gunman, believed to be a fundamentalist Christian, killed at least 84 people at a youth camp on Utoeya island.

"As of now we have 84 dead at Utoeya," deputy police chief Roger Andresen told a news conference. "In Oslo, with the explosion and the impact it had, we are not yet sure if that number is final."

"At Utoeya, the water is still being searched for more victims," he said.

He declined to comment on the possible motive for the killings, but said: "We have no more information than ... what has been found on (his) own websites, which is that is goes toward the right (wing) and that it is, so to speak, Christian fundamentalist."

Christian fundy and a right-wing extremist… Does this sound familiar? We should start arresting those people before they copycat this tragedy.
