I hope all our Scandinavian clan members are OK, along with their friends and families, after events in and around Oslo today.

Thank you.

I can only answer for my self. I am unharmed, and my family and close friends are well. My brother and a colleague has lost friends. But most of the victims have yet to be named. But sadly most of the dead are to young for me to know them....

However I have been very involved in the work after the tragedy. I am a military dog handler, and was called out to assist. I have met victims and relatives. It has been heart-breaking. I admit that I have cried....

Norway is a small country, with few people. So every fallen could be a friend or relative. A good example is that the policeman who was killed on Utøya was the "crown Princess" (half) Brother...

We are watching the events unfold with rapt attention and deep sympathy. This callous act of violence is shocking and horrible. Please know that all Norwegians are in our thoughts and prayers.
