– We are looking for more people. I can confirm that we believe there are several people involved here, says crime leader Anders Johnsrud to news at 00.30 on Wednesday night. At this time, the police had not questioned any of the three branches. It was at 8.26pm on Tuesday evening that the police reported on Twitter that shots had been fired at Torshov in Oslo, and that it was possibly fired from one car at another. A short time later, the police told news that they had control of two cars and that they had arrested three people. Earlier on Tuesday, a teenage boy was critically injured in a stabbing at Stovner in Oslo. When asked if the police see the two incidents as connected, the crime boss replies as follows: – I cannot comment on that at the present time. But two such serious incidents, relatively close in time – of course it is something we are investigating. Johnsrud does not think this is blind violence. – One hypothesis we have is that this is a conflict between criminal circles. The audience need not worry.

People became restless and started running from the scene, Maria Simone Otterlei told. She said she chose to go into the restaurant when she heard the bangs. – I was afraid of being shot myself. I think it was very disgusting. You hear about shootings and riots in Oslo, but I’ve never been close to that myself, Otterlei said. She saw some cars speeding away from the scene afterwards.
