Gunman armed with multiple weapons opens fire in a mosque near the Norwegian capital Oslo, injuring one person before being overpowered by an elderly worshipper - police and witnesses
Police first reported that the victim had been shot, but later said one person had sustained"minor injuries" and that it was unclear if they were gunshot wounds.
The head of the mosque described the assailant, who was later arrested by police, as white and said he was wearing a helmet and a uniform. Police said there was no indication that more people than the "young man" arrested were involved in Saturday's incident, but that they had no further information about the suspect."One of our members has been shot by a white man with a helmet and uniform," Irfan Mushtaq, head of the mosque, told local newspaper Budstikka.
"Then I see that there are cartridges scattered and blood on the carpets, and I see one of our members is sitting on the perpetrator, covered in blood," Mushtaq told VG. The al Noor Islamic centre in Norway shares its name with the worst affected mosque in the New Zealand attacks.
