Dad dies saving his 10 year old son in Norway shooting.

Off-duty policeman Trond Berntsen, who was working as a security guard at the summer youth camp on Utoya island, is believed to have pushed his son to take cover as he went to challenge Breivik.

But the gunman opened fire on the unarmed officer, making the 51-year-old father of two one of his first victims. His son survived and was today reportedly telling police the "powerful and harrowing story" of what happened.
