– It is now confirmed that the injured person is a man in his 20s and that he has a gunshot wound. He is taken care of by health. The incident is still widely investigated, writes the Sørøst police district on the police log.
Operations manager Eskil Hagen Olsen does not know anything about the extent of the damage beyond the fact that the man is alive.
– I don’t know anything about the extent of the damage, but the damage is in the upper body, Olsen told NTB at 5pm.
No crime scene found
As far as the operations manager is aware, it was a single shot. The police are working on the assumption that someone else has inflicted the gunshot wound on the man, but they do not know for sure.
The police do not yet know what happened and where the crime scene is.
– We are still actively searching for a crime scene, and we have not found any weapon either. We have information about a couple of places that may be crime scenes, and we are working, among other things, to collect video surveillance around these places, says operations manager Olsen at 6.20pm.
Witnesses who may have information in the case are asked to contact the police.
The man was found on Landfalløya in Drammen and was first given first aid by members of the public at the scene.
Contacted random passerby
The incident was reported at 1:43 p.m. A little after 2 p.m., the police reported that the man had been taken to Drammen hospital.
– It appears that it is a random passer-by who was contacted by the person involved, who alerted the emergency services, the police wrote at 2.24pm.
Pictures Drammens Tidende has published, shows that heavily armed police were at the scene near where the man was found.
The newspaper writes that the police finished on Landfalløya at 3 p.m., but that half an hour later they were at another place in the city in connection with the same case.
