Norwegian sentenced to 21 years for slaying, mosque attack

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A Norwegian man who killed his stepsister and then stormed an Oslo mosque and opened fire, harming no one, has been found guilty and sentenced to 21 years, the longest allowed jail term under Norwegian law. Philip Manshaus who said court that he regretted not having caused more damage, “has proven to be an extremely dangerous person” prosecutor Johan Oeverberg said as he demanded the maximum penalty. Last year, Manshaus, 22, first killed his 17-year-old stepsister by shooting her four times with a hunting rifle at their home in an Oslo suburb. Then he drove to a nearby mosque and fired four shots at a glass door before he was overpowered.
