On 12 October 2012, Johnsrud wrote an article in Dagsavisen about Islamists associated with the Profetens Ummah group attending a course for prospective hunters. Passing the exam for hunters would make the persons in a position to apply for gun licences. The Islamists were reported to have expressed extreme views during the course. The leader of the course had reported the situation to the Norwegian Police Security Service. Ubaydullah Hussain, who was spokesperson for the Profetens Ummah, was interviewed in the article. Shortly after the article was published, Johnsrud received an email from Hussian which she perceived as threatening. The email stated that several persons were disappointed and it said “you should not be surprised if something or someone turn up in your life as well. With words or action, that I don’t know”. On 25 October 2012, Hussain was arrested and charged with threats against Johnsrud and another journalist. He was released after 53 days.
Ubaydullah Hussain was convicted for threats against Johnsrud in February 2014 in Oslo District Court. For this and some other criminal offenses, he was sentenced to 120 days in prison, of which 60 days was suspended. Hussain did not immediately indicate whether he would appeal the sentence.
On July 6, 2006, four shots were fired from her home in Oppegard outside of Oslo at night. Three shots were fired through the window, and another shot struck the doorway.
