Shooter: Zealand Shooter and Ranstorp

shooter: On Twitter, Ranstorp noted that the New Zealand shooter claimed he would leave prison after 27 years and likened himself to late South African President Nelson Mandela, saying he would get the Nobel Peace Prize, according to Toronto Star. TESSA BURROWS / AFP/GETTY IMAGES Ranstorp told Swedish radio Friday that the New Zealand shooter, who killed at least 49 people in two mosques in Christchurch on Friday, claims to have been in contact with Breivik's sympathizers. Magnus Ranstorp of the Swedish National Defence College says the shooter is against mass immigration and has to some extend the same themes as Anders Behring Breivik, who posted his 1,500-page manifesto online before carrying out his deadly attacks. On July 22, 2011, Breivik killed eight people with a car bomb in Oslo and then opened fire at an island summer camp run by the left-wing Labor Party's youth wing, killing 69. Breivik's lawyer, Oeystein Storrvik, told Norway's VG newspaper that his client has very limited contacts with the surrounding world so it seems very unlikely that he has had contact. He is serving a 21-year prison sentence. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
