In Oulu, Finland, a local court has detained a young man, born in the 2000s, on strong suspicions of a serious firearm offense and causing danger following an incident late Thursday night. Police received reports of a gunshot heard near an apartment building in Tuirasa, leading them to the scene where they apprehended the suspect, known to them from prior encounters. During his arrest, he was found in possession of a knife, prompting further suspicions regarding his possession of dangerous items.

The police also discovered a loaded pistol in a trash bin close to the arrest location. While the firearm is originally registered, the detained individual did not possess a permit for its ownership. In the ongoing preliminary investigation, the suspect has denied possessing the gun or firing it, which complicates the case for law enforcement as they work to establish the circumstances surrounding the firearm's presence.

The police continue to investigate the matter through interrogations and technical examinations, aiming to determine how the legal weapon came to be discarded and whether any connections exist between the suspect and the events that transpired. The case underscores ongoing concerns regarding public safety and gun law enforcement in Finland, as authorities strive to address illegal weapon possession and associated violence.
