OSLO, Norway - A Norwegian who survived Anders Behring Breivik's shooting rampage on Utoya island told a court on Friday how the self-confessed killer first mistook him for a fellow right-wing extremist and spared him, then shot him when he found him again.

Adrian Pracon, 22, was the only adult survivor who was momentarily spared on July 22, when the 33-year old Norwegian right-wing extremist gunned down 69 people on the island after having set off a bomb in central Oslo that claimed eight lives.

Pracon testified that Breivik, a self-styled anti-Muslim crusader, first found him on Utoya island as he stood knee-deep in water at a shoreline with nowhere to hide.

"We got eye-contact," the witness said. "I experienced it as if he made a long evaluation. When he turned away, it was very decisive. Almost as if in a military manner." Breivik lowered his weapon and went to hunt down other victims, Pracon said.

Later, Breivik returned to the shoreline where Pracon was lying and this time shot and wounded him in the shoulder, apparently while aiming for his head.

"Something died inside of me. I've been asking myself why I was spared? It doesn't give me any meaning," Pracon told the court in the last witness statement from those who survived Breivik's bloody massacre at the Labor Party's annual youth camp on the island.

Since May 11, survivors have given chilling accounts of how Breivik's emotionless "killing machine" hunted them down across the island, tracking them through the small forest and shooting them one by one. The defendant has admitted to the killings, but denies criminal guilt, saying the victims had betrayed their country by embracing immigration.

Breivik, who also spared the life of a young boy that he considered to be below combat age, has previously said he left Pracon alone because he thought he looked like he had rightwing views, reminding him of himself.

"Breivik made a mistake to spare me," Pracon said of their first encounter. "Now I realize how fragile society is, how much it's worth, and how important it is with politics."

Next, policemen and former friends of the Breivik's will testify at the trial, which is expected to last until the end of June.
