Woman Faces Trial for False Shooting Claim

Published: 2024-09-24

A woman in her 20s is on trial in Oslo for allegedly providing false testimony about being shot during the 2022 Pride terror attack.

Despite her claims of being a victim, evidence suggests otherwise, as no hospital records confirm her treatment for gunshot wounds.

The woman maintains her innocence, asserting she was indeed shot, but acknowledges her memory of the event is unclear.

She also mentioned being under the influence during police questioning.

The prosecution argues her false claims wasted police resources during the critical early stages of the investigation.

The trial continues as the woman faces up to two years in prison if convicted.
