As Gun Shy Always Says "the cavalry isn't coming"...

...and if they eventually do arrive, it will most likely be delayed due to mis-communication, logistical, mechanical and or technical problems.

Norway Gunman Fired For 1.5 Hours On Island

quote:

Police arrived at an island massacre about an hour and a half after a gunman first opened fire, slowed because they didn't have quick access to a helicopter and then couldn't find a boat to make their way to the scene just several hundred yards offshore. The assailant surrendered when police finally reached him, but 82 people died before that.

Survivors of the shooting spree have described hiding and fleeing into the water to escape the gunman, but a police briefing Saturday detailed for the first time how long the terror lasted -- and how long victims waited for help.
