Around the afternoon of July 22, the young man visited the restaurant and killed five children and teenagers with a pistol. After that, the perpetrator left the scene and shot at other fleeing people, four of them died. Police tried to shoot the perpetrator to no avail. He hid in an apartment building, left it in the evening and shot himself in front of the police. Initially, the investigators assumed that the rampage was non-political. However, commissioned experts concluded that the crime was right-wing terrorism, as the perpetrator had selected his victims according to racist criteria. Moreover, the day was not chosen by chance, because five years earlier the extreme right-wing attacks in Oslo and Utøya by Anders Breivik took place.
During the events, rumors are spread on social media, causing panic in the city, several people are injured. The police received 71 reports of alleged gunshots.
