Police Investigate Linked Shootings in Jessheim and Oslo's Kværnerbyen

Police received a report of gunfire in Jessheim and, later that night, another in Oslo's Kværnerbyen, treating both as non-random incidents.

On Wednesday night, police were notified of shots fired in a housing neighbourhood of Jessheim. Prosecutor Silje Bergsholm described the episode as serious and non-random, emphasizing that no general public danger has been identified so far. Later the same evening, a second shooting was reported in Oslo's Kværnerbyen district.

The Øst Police District and Oslo Police District are working closely together to assess any possible relationship between the two incidents. Investigators are pursuing multiple hypotheses to reconstruct the events and identify those involved. Authorities have asked anyone with observations from the relevant time frames to provide tips.

Why it matters

Understanding whether the two shootings are connected is crucial for public safety and police response.
