Police say a gunman opened fire on the Al-Noor Islamic Centre, near the capital Oslo, on Saturday.

The suspect has not been named, but police have described him as a "young white man".

The mosque's director told local media that the victim was a 75-year-old member of the congregation.

"One of our members has been shot by a white man with a helmet and uniform," Irfan Mushtaq told local newspaper Budstikka.

He later told local channel TV2 that the attacker had "carried two shotgun-like weapons and a pistol. He broke through a glass door and fired shots."

The gunman, who wore body armour, was overpowered by people at the mosque before police arrived at the scene, Mr Mushtaq added.

Oslo Police confirmed the attack on Twitter, saying: "One person is shot. The severity of that person's injuries is unknown. One suspect is arrested".

They said the suspect appears to have acted alone.

Yeah one of the mass shooters walked into a gun shop an asked to buy full body armor and hundreds rounds of ammunition.

The Gunstore owner told him to fuck off. Then informed the police.

Waht did the guy do? Just went down the street, bought it from another gun shop, then shot everyone up.

It's Norway.

One of the whitest nations on Earth, like 94% of the population is white.

It would be staggering news if the shooter was Brazilian.

it's great that people were able to stop him before more people were shot, but I think the kind of guns he had were also a factor.

like, with the recent mass shootings, they're talking about how so many people were able to be shot, and a lot of them killed, within thirty seconds.

It's embarrasing but there have been so many shooters I literally can't remember which one it was...

It was news at the time, I think I saw it on Fox News.

I'll try and find the details later when I get home.

I think this is a good point. He didn't have an assault weapon.

Actually quick google seach says it was the Parkland Shooter

https://nypost.com/2018/03/07/gun-shop-says-they-turned-alleged-shooter-down-before-massacre/

Although that version says he turned him down because he was under 21

The one I read said it was because he wanted to buy body armor and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Not sure if these are two different stories or if the article I originally read was just wrong.

Not only that, no one has ever said "Mass Shootings Only Happen In America" that's a lazy deflection.

The point is America is the only nation that has a Mass Shooting Epidemic.

America has hundreds of mass shootings every year. Most nations have 0. A handful have 1 or 2.

Going "Well X had a mass Shooting once!" isn't a defense of America's completely inhuman uncaring reaction to people being constantly slaughtered

The sad thing is, there are so many that the stories kind of run together.

I think what Unfair meant was "real men" as in "how people should act". If it helps, play "Real Human Being" from Drive in your head as you read his post.

You have a 25.2 times higher chance of being injured or killed in a mass shooting in the US than any other first world country. Fuck off.

I wish they had beaten the guy to death once they had him down and disarmed.

You're more likely to die in a car accident anywhere in the world than be in a mass shooting. Piss off.

What are the absolute risks? I'm betting something on the level of 1 in a million in the US vs a 1 in 25 million chance of being involved in a mass shooting elsewhere. Relative risks like "25.2 times more likely" without stating a baseline risk are absolute bullshit.

That's a good point, I'd forgotten about that. Norway's prison system is also several times more lenient so I wonder how long they'd hold him. He could be able to be out in a few years.


if he's from another country, keep em for however long they want then deport him. at least that solves that problem. not so much if he's a citizen.

Glad the shooter was stopped before they could do too much damage. It certainly takes a lot of bravery to take on a gunman unarmed, even with a group.

Hopefully the person shot survived.

This is a weak rebuttal.

Aribeth would much prefer orcish sacrifices, and would have several guide rails setup to prevent such accidents.

Men and women do not pray in the same place. Women also do not need to pray in group like men do in Islam.

The perpetrator was overpowered by men.
