Anders Behring Breivik’s Norway shooting spree relived in chilling detail

On the fifth day of his trial in Oslo, the killer told the court that he
managed to bluff his way onto the island by posing as a police officer,
arriving just over an hour after detonating his car bomb in the capital.

A security officer and a camp organiser were the first people he killed. “I
dreaded what was coming: I was thinking ‘I don’t want to do this’,”
claimed Breivik. “Then I thought, ‘this is now or never’. Either I have
to let myself be arrested now, or I have to carry out what I planned.”

He shot the two people – a man and a woman – in the head with his handgun.
Then he approached a café filled with visitors.

“There was complete chaos and people running in all directions. I thought
‘I’m going to enter that building and execute as many people as possible’,”
remembered Breivik.

“I started to just fire and I shoot people in the head. I guess I shoot
four or five.”

Breivik was baffled when some teenagers appeared “paralysed” by
terror and “unable to run”. He added: “They hear that I’ve
run out of ammunition and they just stand there.” Breivik killed them
with shots to the head.

“Many people scream and just beg for their lives,” he went on. “Then
I shoot two persons in the head. Then I make follow up shots while they’re
lying down.”

One man “tried to dodge” by “zigzagging so I cannot shoot him
in the head,” said Brevik. “So it ends up that I shoot him in the
body several times.”

Two girls, hiding in a room with a piano, desperately feigned death. “One
person put her head on the piano and I was sure she was pretending. I saw
another person pretending she was dead,” said Breivik. “And then I
changed the magazine and shot both of them in the head.”

He then opened fire in a campsite, forcing some teenagers to seek refuge
inside a schoolhouse. Breivik cracked open cans of diesel to set this
building ablaze, but no lighter was available.

So he went to the island’s western edge and posed as a policeman, ordering
some teenagers to follow him to a supposed evacuation boat. “When they
came I lifted the Glock [handgun] and I shot the first person – I believe it
was a girl – in the head.”

He then “fired follow-up shots into all because I could see there were at
least five or six people there who were playing dead”.

Nearby, a few terrified youths were trying to escape by climbing down a cliff.
Breivik attached a telescopic sight to his rifle and carefully shot four at
long range. His rampage ended after some 90 minutes when armed police
finally arrived.

The case continues with the final day of Breivik’s testimony on Monday.
