At a press conference at 3 p.m., the police say that the murder in Greenland bears the hallmarks of a gang settlement. The person killed is a Norwegian man in his 20s, living in Oslo. He is well known to the police from before, and has previously been convicted of several matters. He belongs to a criminal circle. The police therefore believe that he was not a random victim. According to what news has been informed, the murdered man will have testified in several court cases. That this could be a revenge settlement is among the theories the police are working with, according to Ingebjørg Hansen, head of the homicide section in the Oslo police district. – It is something we have to investigate to see if it could be. – What are the other theories then? – There are several hypotheses. We are working broadly on what could be the background for this, answers Hansen. More involved Two people have so far been brought in by the police after the murder. One of them, a man in his early 20s, is charged with complicity in murder and will be questioned on Sunday. The police do not rule out more arrests in the case. – Based on what we see on video obtained by the police, we are sure that there are several people involved in the incident, says police inspector Jan Eirik Thomassen. – We have a decent description of the person in question and we have relevant candidates that we are working with. We do not think it is a case of random shooting, so with the information we have, there is no reason to believe that there is a danger to the public in the area, says operations manager Line Skott of the Oslo police. The police are investigating the area around the Grønland subway station.

They will not say anything about any weapons seized in the case. Shot and killed in Greenland It was at 04:18 that the police were notified by witnesses at the subway station in Greenland that a person had been shot. – The person was first taken care of by health personnel, but after a short time was declared dead on the spot, the police said on Twitter. – We were on the scene early and found a man who had been shot and with injuries that were not compatible with life, so he was declared dead early. In retrospect, we have worked with a lot of crew out in the area around Grønland/Brugata in search of the described persons, says task leader Rune Hundere to NTB. Relatives of the deceased have been notified. A man in his 20s was shot dead in Oslo early Sunday morning. Gang settlement The police say they take the murder case in Greenland very seriously on the night of Sunday. Also earlier this week, a person was seriously injured when he was shot at Furuset in Oslo. – Both incidents bear the stamp of a settlement between criminals. The police in Oslo have stepped up their efforts against criminal environments, says police inspector Jan Eirik Thomassen in the Oslo police district. He says they will have more visible police on the streets of Oslo in the future. At the same time, they will strengthen the work to investigate cases related to criminal circles, and bring them to court more quickly. The preventive work must also be strengthened. – We are now working to get an overview of what may be the background and whether there are any links between the various events that have occurred. This autumn alone there have been many different incidents, says Ingebjørg Hansen at the Oslo police district.
