At approximately 15:26 local time on Friday, July 22, 2011, a car bomb detonated in the political center of Oslo. Eight people were killed, and the offices of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg were damaged, along with several other government buildings. Additional undetonated explosives were also located in the area, police confirmed the next day.

Utoya, an island located approximately 20 miles northwest of Oslo, has been used by the Worker's Youth League (AUF), the Norwegian Labor Party's youth wing, since the 1970s for summer camps.<ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/07/23/norway.camp.youth/index.html?eref=edition How Labour Party's paradise in Utoya turned to 'hell']</ref> Between 600 to 700 people were on the island on July 22, 2011. Around 16:57 local time, a man dressed as a policeman requested passage on a local ferry over to Utoya. He stated he was there to "do research in connection with the bomb blasts".<ref name="bbc timeline"/> He was reportedly armed with a pistol and an automatic rifle.<ref name="bbc timeline"/> According to witnesses, he gathered the camp atendees around him for an announcement, then began shooting at them. The people panicked, and began running in an attempt to get away. Some tried to swim to the mainland, and were shot while still in the water.

 

The first reports of the shootings reached authorities at 17:26, and by 17:40, a specialized SWAT team was dispatched from Oslo to the island, arriving at 18:09.<ref name="bbc timeline"/> Local police were already at the ferry crossing, but were waiting for a boat. Difficulties arose when the police boat was loaded with the men and equipment; the boat was too small and began to take on water.<ref name="bbc timeline"/> Recreational boats were used instead, and the authorities arrived on the island at 18:26.<ref name="bbc timeline"/> By this time, the shootings had been going on for over an hour.

 

 

Sixty-eight people, mostly teenagers, were killed in the shooting spree, with scores of others injured. Hospital officials reported Breivik used dum-dum bullets, which are designed to cause severe internal damage because they disintegrate within the body.<ref name="bbc timeline"/>
