Norway mosque shooting: One injured, suspect in custody

One person has been injured in a shooting inside a mosque in Norway, police said on Saturday, adding that a suspect had been apprehended.

The suspected shooter at the al-Noor Islamic Centre near the country's capital was described as "a young white man" who appeared to have acted alone, the police added.

"The man carried two shotgun-like weapons and a pistol. He broke through a glass door and fired shots," he said.

The shooter, who wore body armour and a helmet, was overpowered by members of the mosque before police arrived, Mushtaq added.
