Breivik is a cowardly little man, declares survivor aged 15
Ylva Helene Schwenke, 15, was shot her in the neck and then several more times as she lay bleeding on the floor. “He is a cowardly little man, really,” she said. “He shoots a 14-year-old girl from behind then shoots me twice in the leg; that’s the most cowardly thing I’ve ever heard.”
Earlier, showing the court the scars that cover much of her body, she said: “I have no problem showing my scars, I look at them as a symbol of victory. We have to pay a price for democracy but we won.”
