NOA man caused damage at a bar in Mo i Rana, Nordland, before being shot by police. The incident occurred around 7:15 PM when police received reports of an unstable individual possibly armed with a knife. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found the man outside the bar, who did not respond to warning shots and continued moving toward them with raised hands. Police then fired a shot that hit the man in the leg. He was not seriously injured and is receiving medical care. The man, who was unknown to the bar owner Fredrik Jørgensen, entered the establishment and began tearing down items, using a board with a spike or sharp object to destroy shelves and break glass. Jørgensen evacuated the bar and called the police, noting that few people were present as they were preparing to open for the evening. The planned football event at the bar has been canceled, and staff are recovering from the incident.
