The Bureau for the Investigation of Police Affairs has opened an investigation and questioned two police officers after the incident in which the police killed a 33-year-old man in Bislett on Tuesday.
The bureau stated on Wednesday that the two police officers have the status of suspects and that their performance on the job is being investigated.
“Furthermore, we have questioned several witnesses. We will continue with both tactical and technical investigations in the future, and the case is a high priority,” the bureau wrote.
The dead 33-year-old man will be autopsied during the day, but it is not yet clear when a preliminary autopsy report will be available.
