Armed killer still at large
Police in Oslo continued to search on Monday for a Somalian man in his 20s, who's believed to have shot and killed an acquaintance during a street battle in the city's Grünerløkka district over the Easter weekend.
The shootings have rattled the trendy neighbourhood just east of downtown, and it's not the first time neighbours have been disturbed by street violence.
Some told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) they're fed up with apparent gang-related conflicts that have led to violent clashes on the streets and in local parks before.
The shootings late Sunday night left one man dead and another wounded. Witnesses claim at least 10 shots were fired in the park in northern Grünerløkka.
One man involved in the shootings turned himself in to police on Monday. He's an acquaintance of the man in his 20s, and has also been charged with murder.
The other suspect is believed to be armed but police don't think he presents a danger to the public in general. The motive behind the weekend shootings remained unclear, but police indicated it may have stemmed from a conflict among individuals and wasn't gang-related.
