POLICE: Large police resources are engaged in the work of finding the perpetrator after the shooting in Lørenskog on Tuesday.
–—
Police report on Tuesday that someone has shot at a car with a person in it. Now they are looking for a perpetrator who has run off in a white car.
–
This has happened on Skårersletta in Lørenskog.
Operations Manager Tom Sandberg tells VG that a shot was fired through one of the windows in the car.
– He could have been killed – it’s just luck, he says.
Now the police are looking for a man in his 20s. They still have not found him.
Police are searching by helicopter for a perpetrator who disappeared in a white golf course. The car and a named suspected perpetrator are wanted, without the person in question being the owner of the car in question.
The emergency squad has also been deployed in the search for the perpetrator, who will continue throughout the evening.
Operations Manager Tom Sandberg in the Eastern Police District informs VG that they have been informed that several shots have been fired.
– It is clear that it has happened after the marks on the car that have been shelled, he says

– The person in the car that was shot at is safe. We have an idea of who may have shot, says Sandberg.
The person sitting in the protected car is not injured, and has been taken care of by the police. According to the police, the perpetrator should not pose an immediate threat to anyone else, they write on Twitter.
– Are you sure that the person is not a danger to others?
– Probably not the person in question, but you can never say for sure when someone is willing to shoot at something, operations manager Sandberg answers to VG.
– We do not know exactly what kind of relationship it is, but there are things that indicate that it is a reason. We understand that the incident happened quite quickly.
The police were notified of the incident at 18.35.
CORRECTION: VG first published a picture conveyed by the news agency NTB of a car with a partially broken windscreen in connection with this case. The picture was allegedly of the car that was shelled. This later turned out not to be the case. VG has therefore removed the image. This was changed at 21.10 on 13 July.
