Five people were killed and two others injured when a man armed with a bow and arrows carried out an attack in the southeastern Norwegian town of Kongsberg, local police said.
The suspect was arrested, police said, but the motives behind the attack on Wednesday remain unclear.
“The man has been apprehended … from the information we now have, this person carried out these actions alone,” police chief Oyvind Aas told reporters.
According to police, the suspect walked around the city shooting at people with arrows.
Norwegian police said they will investigate whether the attack amounted to an act of terrorism.
