Information from PST
The PST raises the terrorist threat level from a moderate terrorist threat to an emergency.
The reason for the increase in the threat level is that several shots were fired at several nightclubs in Oslo on Saturday 25 June. The perpetrator was arrested shortly after the shooting and two weapons were found. Two people were killed and several injured were transferred to various emergency departments.
The perpetrator is known to PST before. PST has known him since 2015, fearing radicalization and the fact that he was part of an extreme Islamist network in Norway. It has a long history of violence and threats.
According to the Norwegian police, two people were killed and many people were injured. A major incident took place in central Oslo last night.
The police arrested the perpetrator of the shooting. According to the press, he is a 42-year-old who has previously been arrested for assault and drug possession.
The arrested person comes from the Kurdish part of Iran and arrived many years ago from family to Norway as a refugee. He has Norwegian citizenship and lives in Oslo.
The police are there. Reports show that 21 people were injured as a result of the shooting, and the police classified the incident as terrorism.
