‘Confused’ shooter arrested

A man with a firearm who was described as “confused” by Norwegian police has been detained after reportedly opening fire in central Oslo yesterday morning.

No one was injured and officers ruled out terror as a motive.

The man, in his 20s, was detained behind Oslo’s cathedral by armed police.

Police spokesman Svein Arild Joerunland said the suspect had admitted firing two to three shots.

Witnesses called police shortly after 8am to alert them to a man walking around the capital with a weapon and firing live ammunition.
