Shooting at a mosque near Oslo is being treated as an 'attempted act of terror' - Norwegian police
The shooting at a mosque near Oslo is being treated as an "attempted act of terror", Norwegian police said Sunday, with the suspect appearing to harbour far-right, anti-immigrant views.
The suspect, armed with multiple weapons, opened fire in the mosque in Baerum, a suburb of Oslo, on Saturday afternoon, before being overpowered by a man who suffered "minor injuries" in the process. The man had been known to police before the incident but according to Skjold he could not be described as someone with a "criminal background".
