There is a major police operation underway in Greenland in Oslo. A large contingent of armed police is on the scene, according to eyewitnesses.
Witnesses say they heard gunshots. The police confirm that in connection with an action against a hotel they have “fired one shot at a person”.
– The person is conscious and is being cared for by health, says operations manager Sven Christian Lie.

The Special Unit confirms i a press release sent out at 04.30 that they have been notified that a person has been shot by the Oslo police. They are launching an investigation into the incident.
– Laid on the ground
An eyewitness tells Dagbladet that he heard two shots, and that a man was taken to hospital. The police are said to have also entered the hotel, and cordoned off the surrounding area.
A hotel guest says that other guests witnessed the shooting. The man must have been lying on the ground afterwards.
– This is not everyday food. I have seen a lot, but this is the worst thing I have experienced, says the man to Dagbladet.
Can’t comment
As the police have fired shots, the case ends up on the Bureau’s table. Operations manager Lie therefore states that he cannot answer questions about this.

He will neither confirm nor deny that the person was hit, nor elaborate on other details about the action.
– I apologize for being so short to you, but this is the Bureau’s area now, he says to Dagbladet.
Initially, the police reported that there was no danger to the public in connection with the action.
Kripos is assisting
In its press release, the Bureau writes that the purpose of the investigation is “to shed light on the course of events and the more detailed circumstances surrounding the situation where shots were fired”.
– Kripos has been notified and will assist the Bureau with crime scene investigations. Weapons involved will be secured. The Bureau will question officials and witnesses as soon as possible, they write.
