Roger Berg, the acting PST chief, told a news conference the terror alert was being raised from “moderate” to “extraordinary”. They did not consider him to have violent intentions but were aware that he had “difficulties with his mental health”. The alleged gunman was suspected of “murder, attempted murder and terrorist acts”, public broadcaster NRK reported the prosecutor as saying. In one case, the paper reported, an appeal court ruling had referred to the man’s “obvious mental health problems”, the paper said. The suspect’s lawyer, John Christian Elden, told NRK the killings were being treated as a terror attack.
