The police are investigating a shooting incident at Linderud last night, following the discovery of empty shell casings and ammunition at the scene.
“We are carrying out various investigations at the scene and working to clarify who has been involved and whether it is connected to other incidents”, they write in a press release.
The police were tight-lipped about the incident for a while. Avisa Oslo’s reporter went up to the scene, where the police set up cordon at an area outside the Norwegian Military Academy.
A police car and several police officers were on the scene.
Earlier on Sunday, the police stated that they were working on interviewing witnesses and obtaining video material.
