The Baerum mosque shooting or Al-Noor Islamic Center shooting was an attack that occurred on 10 August 2019 at the Al-Noor Islamic Center mosque in Bærum, Norway, around 20km from the capital city Oslo.
Attack
The shooter, who has not officially been identified, was reportedly wearing a uniform and helmet when he entered the mosque. He was carrying two shotguns or "shotgun-like" weapons and a pistol, opening fire at the congregation. A 65-year-old man in the mosque was injured, but was thereafter restrained by other people in the room, and soon arrested by police.
After the attack, a young woman was found dead in the shooter's apartment. The woman has been reported by local Norwegian media to be the shooter's stepsister.
Suspect
The suspect is believed to be a "young white male" who is Norwegian and in his 20s. A Norwegian right-wing media source, Resett, was the first outlet to unofficially propose an identity of the suspect. He is indicted for terrorism and murder, according to Norwegian police.
Response
Authorities reported that the safety in Norway was increased as the Muslim tradition Id al-Adha is celebrated. The Norwegian Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, condemned the attack.
