Norwegian citizen of Somali descent. Police are reporting that the dude was just fucked in the head.
A thought: If an unmedicated schizophrenic fires into a crowd while screaming "Allahu ackbar", what is the motive?
What does it matter that he's a Norwegian citizen? The large majority of Muslims do not integrate in Europe and they certainly do not identify as members of their host countries. Your mistake is believing that they think like Westerners. This isn't like it is with people who move to America and become 'American'. Most Muslims do not adopt and embrace the values of the countries they move to.
This fuckhead would probably laugh at you for referring to him as a "Norwegian", and I'm not even joking. Being called English, French, Italian, German, etc, is often used as an insult towards natives by the Muslim immigrants. For example, "Dirty fucking Germans" -- said with no irony by Muslims living in Germany. So yeah, they make it quite clear that they don't identify with the country, and that's why you see so many Muslim ghettos.
As for how the police work in Europe... We're talking about police forces which covered up mass sexual assaults at music festivals, etc (carried out by migrants), because they were told that reporting on it 'might give rise to anti-immigration parties'. All police statements are issued by career police officers, who are are just mouthpieces for our PC politicians. Fuck what some police spokesperson says or doesn't say. It's often very different to what the officers on the ground think.
It's the same thing with the media, and I don't understand how more people don't realise this. When someone goes on a shooting spree in a nightclub, right after pledging allegiance to IS, but the media and politicians ignore that and go looking for other excuses... like, wtf? And then they went inventing stories about repressed homosexuality, etc, which never really panned out. It's like they'll try to make anything stick -- just as long as it doesn't link back to Islam.
If these people won't even accept a confession when one is given, you can be sure they'll try to find a million excuses when there isn't clear evidence of one.
You know what though, you're right. Islam is dangerous enough as it is in semi-functional people. The idea of people with actual mental health problems turning to Islam is fucking scary.
