Norway police say suspect detained in shooting at shopping center, no injuries immediately reported
A 19-year-old called police before firing a single shot inside Oslo's largest shopping centre; no injuries were reported after evacuation and a thorough search, police said.
- On Monday a single shot struck the ceiling inside Storo Storsenter shopping centre, Oslo, prompting authorities to evacuate the centre shortly after 11am and detain a teenager.
- Detectives said the suspect phoned police claiming he had a gun, and police later revealed the call preceded the gunshot, according to local media at Storo Storsenter shopping centre, Oslo.
- Officers recovered a shotgun, a bag of ammunition, and a bag containing a knife and a baseball bat near the suspect, while police search teams found no injured people.
- A sustained police presence—including squad cars and a helicopter—remained at Storo Storsenter as Oslo police secured the area, declared it safe, and reopened the centre while urging people to stay away for emergency services.
- Oslo Police operations chief Tor Grottum said the incident was very serious and the rapid response likely prevented injuries, recalling the June 2022 shooting that killed two and injured nine.
