Norway: Bad Cop Shoots Teacher, Self


"Tromsø, Norway - A policeman shot and killed a woman teacher before turning the gun on himself in a car park outside a school in Norway this morning.

"No children were injured in the incident, which happened outside the Slettaelva school in Tromso (school Web site), the main city in the Norwegian Arctic.

"Police had initially said that both the man and the woman - who they believe to be former lovers - had died, but later said the man was in a critical condition in hospital.

"`This was an experienced public servant with a long record of service,` Tromso Police Chief Truls Fyhn said.

"He did not release the man's name or position in the police force.

"The man and his victim, who was a teacher in training, had previously lived together.

"Chief Fyhn said: `The background to the killing is presumed to be their relationship which broke up in recent weeks.`"
