Not much use speculating as long as they don't have their bodies. May sound cynical, but in cases like this, it usually ends with the shooter(s) being dead. Regardless of motivation, it's usually an endgame for them.
One of the guys is dead because he shot himself. Surely they could break the news already.

I agree, but as you've seen in this thread alone there's a huge urge for everyone to jump vehemently to it being Islamic. And while recent events might make this understandable, isn't jumping to conclusions without evidence something we're usually against on this forum?

Well, if you watch the video, the person is clearly white. Unless it is another person with a mental defect who got brainwashed by ISIS.
Could be a far-right attack then, but I'm still betting Islamic.

Course they do. They even did it while Brejvik was still at large. Original media coverage was done with experts on islamic terrorism experts until it turned out to be a home made nutjob.
