Lesbian couple saves dozens in Norway

Tue 26 Jul 2011 In: International News

Hege Dalen and Toril Hansen It has emerged a lesbian couple heroically rescued up to 40 young campers during last week's terrifying massacre by gunman Anders Behring Breivik on a Norwegian island. A translation of the story on The People's Forum reads: Hege Dalen and her partner Toril Hansen were eating supper in the camping area opposite Utoya island when they started hearing gunshots and screaming.... Dalen and Hansen drove their boat to the island, and fished out of the water people who were in shock and young people who were injured and transported them ashore. Every now and then bullets almost hit the boat. Since they couldn't fit everyone into the boat all at once, they returned to the island four times. They might have saved as much as forty people from the clutches of the killer. Several others also rushed to the area in boats.
