A police officer investigates after several people were killed and others were injured by a man using a bow and arrows to carry out attacks, in Kongsberg, Norway, on October 13, 2021.
A man armed with a bow and arrows killed several people and wounded others Wednesday near the Norwegian capital of Oslo before he was arrested, authorities said.“The man who carried out the act has been arrested by the police, and there is no active search for more people. Based on the information we have, there is one person behind this,” Oeying Aas said.According to police, the suspect walked around the city shooting at people with arrows. An investigation is underway.
"Given how events unfolded, it is natural to assess whether this is a terrorist attack," Aas told a news conference. "The arrested man has not been interviewed and it is too early to say anything about his motives," he added. The attacks took place over "a large area" of Kongsberg, a municipality of around 28,000 people in southeastern Norway, police said.
Norway's minister of justice and public security, Monica Maeland, following the incident has received updates on the attacks and was closely monitoring the situation, the ministry said.
