The 2019 Bærum murder and mosque attack occurred on 10 August 2019 at the Al-Noor Islamic Centre in Bærum, Norway, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of the capital city Oslo. Philip Manshaus, a 21-year-old Norwegian man, murdered his 17-year-old adopted sister Johanne Ihle-Hansen at their home. He then drove to the mosque and shot his way through the glass door before opening fire, hitting no one; the mosque was almost empty, as prayer had ended. He was subdued by three elderly worshippers after a scuffle, and turned over to police. He had attempted to livestream the shooting, but failed. Manshaus was fixated on far-right conspiracy theories and mass shootings, and had been investigated in 2018 after a tip was filed over his neo-Nazi views. The tip was not followed up on, as it was deemed to be vague and lacked signs he was planning a violent attack. He murdered Ihle-Hansen due to her being of Asian ethnicity, and the mosque shooting was done to intimidate Immigrants; the attack was inspired by the Christchurch mosque shootings, which had occurred earlier in the year.
