Express (U.K.) ^ | Wed, Oct 13, 2021 | Oliver Pritchard-Jones

The unnamed suspect reportedly began firing the weapon "into a supermarket" in the small town of Kongsberg - about 80 miles from the capital Oslo. He was later detained by police - who are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack.

"The man has been apprehended ... from the information we now have, this person carried out these actions alone," police chief Oeyvind Aas told reporters.

"Several people have been injured and several are dead," Aas said.

He declined to comment on the number of casualties.

Twitter user ikke said: "There is a guy with bow and arrow shooting at people just outside my apartment wtf.

"Police and multiple helicopters are here."

Andreas Fagerbakke wrote: "Several people killed and injured in Kongsberg, Norway. 60 km from where I live.

"A man was walking around shooting people with a bow and arrow. What a crazy world we live in."

Journalist Philip O'Connor claimed that police are due to hold "a press conference at 9pm BST".

Police at the scene

He claimed that the attack reportedly began at around 1830 CET (5.30pm UK time) and that the suspect "fired into a convenience store/supermarket".

After news of the attack emerged "ambulances and armed police" were deployed from Norway's capital, he said.

He added: "(The)suspect has been taken to Drammen, about 40km back towards Oslo. Kongsberg is a mining town of about 26,000 people.

Arrow allegedly from the scene

"This is a gruesome incident, there is nothing else to say. Now we must try to take care of the inhabitants as best we can," mayor Kari Anne Sand told TV 2.

The attack/s took place in an area called Vestsiden with housing, shops and a university campus, Sand said.

Police told Local News Outlet via Tronder-Avisa no active search ongoing for further suspects after arrest made in earlier incident involving bow and arrow near grocery store.

Broadcaster NRK reported that police all over Norway will be armed after the mass killing.

There is a guy on a Youtube video that can rapid fire very rapidly and accurately while running or even hanging upside down. I wouldn’t want to try and charge him.

It’s just too predictable, isn’t it?

These idiotic woke fools invite hostile enemy invaders into their midst and then expect these monsters to behave like proper little leftists. The reality is that Muslims are called to wage war against non-believers ‘where they may be found’ and if we’re fool enough to invite them in they’re faithful enough to kill us.
