[quote][b]UPDATED: Police cordoned off a large area of the campus of the University of Oslo at Blindern in Oslo Wednesday morning and called in specialists to examine an object feared to be a bomb. The major operation was unfolding after a security guard was shot in the same area during the night.[/b]
The guard had encountered two men near the physics building of the sprawling university campus during one of his regular partrols at 2:45am. Police told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) that when the guard approached the two men, they refused to talk to him and ran off.
One of the two fleeing men, however, turned and fired what police said were around four or five shots at the security guard, one of which hit him in the chest. He was wearing protective gear, however, and was not seriously injured.
[b]Investigation launched in pouring rain[/b]
The guard himself was able to call police, who immediately launched an investigation in the pouring rain that drenched Oslo and much of southern Norway during the night. NRK, which is headquartered adjacent to the portions of the campus cordoned off Wednesday morning, reported that the guard was taken to hospital where his injuries were described as minor.
When police started searching for the two men they found the suspicious object believed to be a bomb. “We have cordoned off the area (at the southwest end of the campus) and the bomb group has begun their work,” Vidar Pedersen, operations leader for the Oslo Police District, told NRK. “They will approach the object at their own tempo.”
The area extending around the physics and chemistry buildings at the Blindern campus was secured both to give the bomb squad room to work and to prevent possible injuries.[/quote]
It's good to see the Norwegians handling this situation well after being completely unprepared for the Utøya attack. Security guards and police officers being shot at is also a rarity in Scandinavia, so they have good reason to believe that someone were planning something.
Man that security guard was lucky
Hope the men are caught, and nobody gets injuried

It was .22LR and he was wearing a stab vest. Although he could've indeed gotten mortally injured I'd say his chances were good. The bomb turned out to be a hoax.
It's a shame that firearms were used, I'd hate to see Norwegian police become permanently armed.
Yep, it was all a hoax done by the security guard, he made it all up and shot himself.
I will post the article when i get home from work.

Yup, he fired the shot himself and planted the fake bomb. People are fucking crazy.

Nobody really knows why yet.
It's worth noting that he's the only guard in the area to be attacked, and this is his third or fourth time..
According to him he was tazed in the back and whoever tazed him attempted to hang him.

Yep. This is the third time he has been (supposedly) attacked while at work on the university campus.
Police is going to investigate the previous attacks again. No perpetrators were found for either.

Being a security guard in Norway is so boring you start losing your mind.
Well, on the bright side, there wasn't actually a shooting or bomb. Count your blessings I guess.
