The shooting at a mosque near Oslo is being treated as an "attempted act of terror", Norwegian police said Sunday, with the suspect appearing to harbour far-right, anti-immigrant views.
"We are looking at an attempted act of terror," acting chief of the police operation Rune Skjold told a press conference after Saturday's incident left one man injured.
"We're investigating this as an attempt at carrying out an act of terrorism," Skjold added.
A gunman opened fire on the Al-Noor Islamic Centre, on the outskirts of the capital Oslo, on Saturday.
One person inside the mosque managed to overpower the gunman, suffering minor injuries in the process.
Later, a woman was found dead at the house of the suspect. Police confirmed that woman was related to the suspect.
