The suspect is apparently in his early 20s and is a Norwegian citizen. Motives are so far unclear, but there was apparently some interesting activity on the suspect's social media. So far there's only one injured reported from inside the mosque - with minor injuries.
According to eye witnesses inside the mosque the suspect was stopped by a 75 year old man and was apprehended by civilians until the police arrived.
In a twist of events a young woman was found dead at the suspect's family's house, and has been said to have "family relations" with the suspect, but no further information has been released by the Oslo police. Investigations are ongoing.

EDIT: Apparently the first attack on a mosque in Norway in over 30 years.
EDIT 2: Social media and forum posts in the shooter's name are being investigated where he has stated he is in a race war. He has also showed support for the Christchurch and El Paso shooters, among others.

This doesn't have to be some political debate or BaN vIdEo GaMeS! bAn GuNs! crap. Condolences to the family and hopefully the shooter rots.
TanDumpLord
I completely agree.
ItIsStillWater
He's now charged with murder of the woman and attempted murder for the mosque. Weapons described as shotgun-like pistols (sawn-offs?). 1/2
ItIsStillWater
Police say that he has professed sympathies for the Christchurch shooter, but the police is holding off on terror charges until more info2/2
TanDumpLord
The mentioned both a shotgun and a handgun in the press conference.
ItIsStillWater
Then it might just be that the journalist I read didn't know her weapons and got it mixed up.
TanDumpLord
Maybe! There's talk of several weapons. I guess we'll just have to wait until they release more information.

Recent production has a brand selling pistols with minimal rifling, like Bond Arms's .410/.45lc combo. Considered a single shot bird pistole
ScarecrowSticks
Might be something like that, if shotgun-like pistol

In Norway it should be Quislings
ItIsStillWater
Highly likely, but let's wait for some actual information before we say anything conclusive.
TanDumpLord
I agree. There's not been released any information about the shooter yet. There are rumours about his identity though.
ItIsStillWater
Are there? Just hope I don't know the guy.
TanDumpLord
He's from the area. Some of mine went to school with it - if it's the right guy.
ItIsStillWater
Too close for comfort.
