One person has been injured in a shooting inside a mosque in Norway, Oslo police said on Saturday, adding that one man had been apprehended.
The victim was a 75-year-old member of the congregation, mosque director Irfan Mushtaq told TV2.
“The man carried two shotgun-like weapons and a pistol. He broke through a glass door and fired shots,” he said.
The shooter, who wore body armour and a helmet, was overpowered by members of the mosque before police arrived, Mushtaq added. According to Norwegian media, the gunman is said to be a white man wearing a helmet and a uniform.
Earlier this year the Islamic centre implemented extra security measures following the massacre of more than 50 people at two New Zealand mosques by a suspected right-wing extremist.
It is not yet known how seriously the victim was injured at the al-Noor Islamic Centre. The motive has not been established yet.
