A man was arrested on Wednesday after firing shots towards the police and neighboring buildings in Hordvik. Following the incident, he was remanded in custody for four weeks, with restrictions on correspondence and visits. The man faces severe charges, including making grave threats with a firearm and vandalism, which have now been extended to include attempted murder. The district court determined that he was mentally competent at the time of the events, confirming his legal responsibility for the actions taken.

The court session was conducted without the defendant's presence, as he is still hospitalized. The justification for his detention includes concerns that he might commit further offenses and destroy evidence related to the charges. His lawyer, Bertil Christian Hast Rønnestad, stated to NRK that he has not yet been able to discuss the decision with his client to decide whether they would appeal the ruling.

Meanwhile, the police have announced that they will continue their investigative work over the weekend at the scene of the incident. This ongoing investigation and the charges brought against the individual indicate serious implications for public safety in Hordvik and reflect broader concerns about firearm-related violence in the area.
