'Tell the police to hurry. People are dying here!'

Source: BBC

Julie Bremnes, 16, was one of the youths caught on Utoeya island during Anders Behring Breivik's killing spree on Friday.

She first called her mother, Marianne, at 1710 to tell her there was "a crazy man who is shooting here" on the island. She asked her mother to call the police, and Marianne asked Julie to send her updates by text message to let her know she was still alive.

Julie eventually escaped unscathed after hiding behind rocks on the shore. Below is the SMS exchange between mother and daughter published in Norwegian newspaper VG.

Julie
Mummy, tell the police that they must be quick. People are dying here!

Mum
I'm working on it, Julie. The police are on their way. Dare you call me?

Julie
No.

Julie
Tell the police that there is a mad man running around and shooting people.

Julie
They must hurry!

Mum
The police know and they have had many calls. It is going well, Julie. Police are calling us now. Give us a sign of life every five minutes please?

Julie
OK.

Julie
We are in fear for our lives.

Mum
I understand that very well, my darling. Stay hidden, do not move anywhere! The police are already on their way, if they haven't already arrived! Do you see anyone injured or killed?

Julie
We are hiding in the rocks along the coast.

Julie: I love you even if I still misbehave from time to time.

Julie: And I'm not panicking even if I'm shit scared.

Mum: I know that my darling. We love you too very much. Do you still hear shooting?

2. That girl deserves a Green Lantern ring.

Hell, if I was DC, I'd ask for permission to write her into the comics. Fuck Kyle Rayner.
