Man shoots fellow hunters with father's rifle, killing two and wounding another in Ørsjøen

A violent incident unfolded on a farmyard near Ørsjøen when 29-year-old Martin Braadland, who was not a member of the hunting group, confronted the hunters, made eye contact and then produced a rifle that belonged to his father. He fired multiple shots, killing 72-year-old Bjørn Rune Engebretsen and his 47-year-old son Per-Ove Engebretsen, and seriously wounding a third participant. After the shooting, Braadland ceased fire and set the weapon aside.

All members of the hunting party have been listed as offended parties in the case, and the survivors have been interviewed by police. Braadland faces charges of two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder; he has provided a written confession acknowledging the two killings but not the attempted murder. He was placed in custody for four weeks, with the court indicating he was likely sane at the time, though his family expressed concerns about his mental health. Investigators believe the episode stemmed from a conflict, though the exact cause remains unknown.
