Armed police patrols and special police teams combed Oslo’s western suburbs Thursday, looking for the driver and passenger of a brown car, who random shot at victims they passed in the road. None of those hit were seriously injured, but two needed medical treatment.

The third person to be hit was shot outside Ullevål University Hospital.

"I knew immediately what had happened, because I had already read about the first incident on the internet," said Cato Steffensen to Aftenposten.no.

Despite reports from several witnesses and a large number of police on the case, no arrests have so far been made.
