On Wednesday night police received a message from a doctor’s office in Vinstra, where a 69-year-old among others should have tried to turn his doctor. When police arrived at the doctor’s office, the man was gone.

When two police officers then attempted to contact him at home, he came out with a shotgun. 69-year-old shot one policeman and hit him in the back. The police officer was probably saved by protective vest he wore. He was also allegedly tried to shoot the other policeman, but missed.

Police in Gudbrandsdalen has now indicted 69-year-old attempts willfully attempted murder, reports local newspaper gd.no.

Man shall be subjected to imprisonment at 13h30 on Thursday. He has previously been described as unstable and disruptive.



Deprived hunting weapons

Police have previously considered that the man’s health situation dictates that he should not have weapons, and have taken hunting weapons from him.

– There was no expectation that he should have a weapon, but it is clear it is possible to have unregistered weapons or to acquire weapons that are not registered, says police chief Bjørn E. Bergundhaugen Lillehammer said.

Is the hospital

According to GD police have secured the scene and will make further inquiries during the day. Police have started mapping of witnesses and preparing questioning them.

Police would not say whether the man is able to let themselves interrogate now, but says that he is in the hospital in Lillehammer. He will not be physically damaged.
