BBC News - Norway attack: Eyewitness accounts

 

 

At least 86 people were killed when a gunman opened fire at an island youth camp in Norway, hours after a bomb attack killed seven people in the capital, Oslo.

Police have charged a 32-year-old Norwegian man over both attacks.

Here, survivors give their accounts of the terrifying attack on Utoeya island.

Lisa-Marie, a 19-year-old youth worker was on the island at the time of the attack. She spoke to BBC presenter, Evan Davis.

"Suddenly we heard gunshots and we didn't know what was happening," she said.

"The man with the gun was running behind us, chasing us."

Finding shelter in a cabin in the woods, she hid under a bed for three hours until the police arrived.
