A lesbian couple dodged bullets to save as many as 40 people who became the target of the shooter in Norway, who is being detained for killing at least than 76 people on Friday.
Hege Dalen and her partner Toril Hansen were having dinner at a campsite opposite of the shore of Utöyan island, when they heard screaming and gunshots coming from the island. The couple hopped in their boat and drove across the water, picking up groups of fleeing young people, according to Finnish news site HS.fi.
Because they could not help all of the people at once, the couple made four trips and were able to rescue an estimated 40 people as bullets hit the side of their boat.
"We did not sleep last night at all," Dalen said in a translated version of the article.
Anders Behring Breivik's shooting attack on Utöyan island, killing 68, was followed by a bombing in Oslo, resulting in the death of eight people, CNN reports. Breivik is being identified as a right-wing extremist who objects to the increasing prevalence of Islamic culture and practice in Europe.

The couple immediately took action and pushed the boat into Lake Tyrifjorden.
Also, many other islands in the vicinity have been made as well.
Dale Hansen, and drove the boat to the island, picked up from the water shock in the young and wounded, and transported them to the opposite shore to the mainland. Between the bullets hit the right beside the boat.
Since not all fit at once aboard, they returned to the island four times in the foreground.
They were able to rescue 40 young people from the clutches of the killer.
"We did not sleep last night at all. Today, we have been together and talked about the events," Dale says.
