A bow-and-arrow attacker who killed five people in Norway was a Muslim convert who was known to police for radicalisation, officers have said, as they revealed he escaped arrest before going on to kill five people.
The 37-year-old Dane, who has not yet been named, began his attack at a supermarket in the town of Kongsberg at 6.12pm Wednesday with a bow and arrow - firing on locals and then officers who arrived at 6.18pm, police spokesman Bredrup Sæverud said.
Officers and locals were hit by the volley of arrows, causing police to lose sight of the man. After escaping, he managed to kill four women and one man aged between 50 and 70 before he was finally caught by armed police at 6.47pm, around 400 yards from where the attack began.
Police have not said how the five victims died, though have confirmed that more than one weapon was used in the attack. They have not said how many weapons were used in total, or what the weapons were.
Two people - including an off-duty policeman - were also wounded in the attack, though their injuries are not life threatening. It is unclear exactly when or how those people were hurt.
Sæverud also confirmed that the suspect is a convert to Islam and was known to the police due to concerns about radicalisation. Separately, police said the man had 'been in contact with... the health service several times'.
The suspect is being questions by police and has admitted to being the one who carried out the attacks, local media reported. He has not yet entered a formal plea to criminal charges.

You gotta love the way the media provides cover for the Religion of Peace.
And of course, just to be fair they also included a profile of Anders Behring Breivik, Norway's most-notorious terrorist. Apparently a single non-Muslim nutter is comparable to a cult that has caused death and mayhem around the world for centuries.
Various accounts (at least from Norway/Denmark) say that the police ‘knew’ the guy (meaning he’d been in trouble in the past), and that he had been a ‘regular’ for health issues (careful avoiding what type of health issues).
Looking at the whole thing....probably a non-migrant (home-grown), with paranoid schizophrenia issues...thinking he was Muslim and on some mission in life.
Captured alive...he was all talkative in the jail-house throughout last night.
If he’s a moslem he can’t be a Dane.
I think he’s a Dane with delusions of him ‘pretending’ to be a Muslim. This detail about repeated medical situations? Carefully worded....sounds like he’s either a drug-addict or a nutcase.
Some kind of muzzie ray, or Havana syndrome? This is very strange...
The reports say he was a convert. There are ethnic English, German and French converts to Islam, so no doubt at least a couple of ethnic Danish converts to Islam.
A white dude.
But the key point is, a mohammedan.
Again, a new convert finds out what his religion is really about, and decides to put it into practice fully, with enthusiasm.
If someone converts to Evangelical Christianity, the most annoying thing they do is go around asking “have you been saved?” If someone converts to the death cult, they murder non-believers.
Or even a great one.
“Officers and locals were hit by the volley of arrows, causing police to lose sight of the man.”
How many arms does he have that he can fire a volley of arrows by himself?
