PANICKED shoppers fled a mall in Norway after a gunman opened fire.
Police raced to the scene in Oslo after a teenager called cops and said he had a gun inside the Storo Storsenter complex.
As a shot rang out, the shopping centre – Oslo’s largest – was evacuated.
Cops surrounded the complex shortly after 11am and a 19-year-old suspect was arrested.
Officers seized a shotgun and a bag of ammunition, as well as a knife and a baseball bat in a bag.
The entire mall was scoured for victims, and police later confirmed there were no injuries.

Witnesses at the scene said shops quickly pulled their shutters with customers inside to keep them safe after a man with a gun entered the building.
Police said they believe the suspect acted alone.
A single shot was fired in a communal area inside the complex and hit the ceiling.
Tor Grottum, operations chief with Oslo police, told VG: “It is a very serious incident, and we should be glad that we are not facing an even more serious incident with injured people.
“We were very quick on the scene, and quickly got the suspect under control.
“That may be a contributing factor to why it went so well. There was a great potential for injury.”
The police urged the public to stay away from the area while they carried out their work.
After a thorough search of the site, the mall reopened to shoppers.
A police helicopter and multiple ambulances remained at the scene after the incident.
