📍 Halden

Police are investigating a shooting incident in Halden that left three people injured, prompting the local municipality to establish a crisis team. One suspect has been taken into custody in connection with the event. Separately, a significant maritime incident occurred off the coast of Ålesund, where three large ships collided, with at least one vessel reportedly taking on water. Meanwhile, a new report indicates a 10% drop in first-time homebuyers in Oslo during the first half of 2026, attributed to high interest rates impacting purchasing power. Other domestic news includes Minister of Health and Care Services Jan Christian Vestre announcing he is expecting a child. The 'price hunter' case is also moving towards a potentially billion-dollar lawsuit, challenging the Competition Authority's basis for proposed fines. Additionally, residents affected by a fire in Krokstadelva are facing losses despite believing their insurance policies were in place.
