Oslo Terror Update: 9 or 10 People Killed in Shooting; Same Man Responsible For Both Attacks?

Unconfirmed reports that police think the shooter was also the bomber -- obviously, in this scenario, he parked his car bombs earlier in the day, then went to the island to kill people with a gun.

Earlier someone said they saw 20 or 25 "bodies" on the shore of the island, or floating in the water.

Still not hearing any kind of verification for claims that the killer was "blonde-haired and blue-eyed." I think that's likely wishcasting.

Update: A guy being interviewed on BBC just said he had also heard the attacker in custody appears "Nordic." But this is what he heard. He doesn't seem to know a lot.

Update: A guy claims that Jihadist Claim of Responsibility was debunked as a hoax.

I don't know. I'm listening to the BBC. Obviously they have a big cheerleading section for the White Rightwing Terrorist Scenario.

I still haven't heard anyone who actually saw the shooter confirm his ethnicity as "Nordic." It just keeps buzzing around as "something people heard."

Eyewitness: Allah directs me to the 3:35 update here, where an eyewitness describes the island shooter as "tall, blonde, and and Nordic-looking."
