FYI. I used this tweet as a starting point. I do not think that is the suspect.
Yea sorry. I don’t have a twitter account. I used a bad link. Use the keyword Kongsberg for info tho.
“Why wasn’t the guy tackled while reaching for another arrow?”
With practice they can fire really fast. Alternatively, just fire once, then disappear. Hard to tell where the shot came from.
“Green” energy always gets a pass on environmental issues.
FRegards.
Looks like a fat white Incel.

================================================
It's an interesting theory. But it sounds like this guy was shooting arrows in a populated area, even if in a small town. So he lets one go around a bunch of people in/around a store, then slips away after dropping the bow (leaving behind evidence)?
The guy was crazy enough to start shooting people with arrows, so I guess that highly risky scenario is possible.
Put a mask on it.
I suspect the name of the suspect will remain anonymous if that is the case.
yep. practice arrows.
How tragic.
Never have seen a modern mass shooting incident with a bow.
I was at a party one while in college where a guy shot a broad-head through a crowd into a leaning ironing board...
I got out of there right as the police were getting ready to raid the place...
I left just as I arrived — on a unicycle — I could hear the cops saying ‘ get that guy he’s been drinking!’ Then a voice or reason said: ‘He’s on a unicycle!’
Guns don’t kill people, arrows do?
Wrong...there is a sound.
If only someone had a better weapon which could have stopped him.
But what sort of weapon might that be?
Ban assault bows.
Added the post to the twanglist.
String silencers, soft cams, heavy arrows. Mine’s pretty quiet.
I'd assume it a Third World migrant -- but they're more inclined to use machetes, acid, knives, and bombs.
But a bow and arrow? That's European or Native American. And there aren't many Native Americans in Norway.
He said he wanted to show off his archery skills. I’m not kidding. That’s what he said.
...
"The man used a bow and arrow ... for some of the attacks," police chief Oeyvind Aas told reporters. The police were investigating whether other weapons had also been used, he said.
...
The TV2 station reported that the man also had a knife or other weapons."

"According to police, the suspect walked around the city shooting at people with arrows. Several people were wounded in shops, Aas said.
The attacks took place over “a large area” of Kongsberg, a municipality of about 28,000 people, police said.
...
The BBC reported that at one point, the assailant took aim from within a supermarket."

A high school friend of mine got high on something and decided to go bow hunting in Austin. He was hunting cats.
He later became a teacher. Haha.
