Two shootings occurred in Oslo on Sunday evening. The latest on the Karl Johan shopping street in central Oslo. Several shots are said to have been fired at a person, in the open street, and the police were called to the scene.
The incident is said to have occurred in connection with a fight that began with pushes and punches. Then a handgun must have been pulled out, confirms the police operations leader via a live press conference to Dagbladet.
Good specifications
The police are now searching for the perpetrator with great resources and have good information in which direction the perpetrator has fled.
Earlier, Norwegian media stated that one person was injured, but now it is reported that no one was hit.
– We take it seriously that it is shot in the middle of Karl Johans gata at nine o’clock on a Sunday evening with a lot of people there. So we take it very seriously and we use all resources to find out who it was, says a spokesperson for the police in Oslo.
At the press conference, NRK’s reporter asked the question whether there could be Swedish criminals involved in the events.
– I have no information about that, says the task leader.
Second shooting
This is the second shooting in Oslo in just a few hours. Earlier on Sunday, several shots were fired in an open street near Sinsen. In recent hours, the police there have been searching for both victims and suspects.
The police are investigating a potential connection between the shooting on Karl Johans gata and the shooting in Sinsen earlier in the evening, but right now there is no indication of that.
