Serious issue

The police held a press release on Friday morning to provide the latest developments in the case.
It is a very serious case and a serious situation, said Great Lane Mitlid in the Oslo Police District.
She also said that the police are now ready to face a serious case.
Several shooting incidents in public places
There have been several shooting episodes in Oslo recently. Metlid stresses that this type of case is a high priority, and says they put all the resources available.
– The situation is dangerous because there are shootings in public places where there are families, children and youth.
– This is very important
Don’t want to contact the environment
According to police information, several shots were fired.
“The way this is happening worries us, and we are concerned that such things could happen in a place like Mortensrud,” said the police inspector.
The shooting took place at Lovesrud School in Mortensrud. The man who died should not be a student at the school. Metlid doesn’t want to associate the 20-year-old with a private environment right now.
– Now he is upset in a criminal case, we do not enter it now.
