Four young men sentenced after attempted murder shooting in Oslo's Grünerløkka district

Four men in their twenties were convicted for a shooting that left a victim critically injured in a Grünerløkka apartment, with one receiving a five-and-a-half-year term for attempted murder.

Four men, all in their twenties, have been found guilty in connection with a shooting that took place in a Grünerløkka apartment. The 21-year-old offender was handed a prison term of five and a half years for the attempted murder charge. The remaining three were convicted of aggravated threats or aiding the crime.

According to the judgment, the victim was shot in the back as he attempted to escape after masked assailants forced their way into the residence, the bullet passing through his torso. He was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries and remained in a coma for three days. The weapon used has never been located, and authorities have not clarified the incident's underlying motive. Defense counsel Tor Even Gjendem chose not to provide further remarks.
