At Least 5 People Killed In Bow And Arrow Attack In Norway

At least five people are dead and two wounded after a man with a bow and arrows went on a rampage near the Norwegian capital Oslo before being arrested, Norwegian public broadcaster NRK said early Thursday.

The attack occurred Wednesday night in the town of Kongsberg, NRK reported.

The dead include a police officer who was off duty when the attack occurred and the wounded have been hospitalized, said police Inspector Øyvind Aas.

Police are conducting forensic investigations at several crime scenes and have cordoned off large areas of Kongsberg, NRK said.

According to NRK, they are not ruling out the possibility of an act of terrorism. -
