A bow-and-arrow attack in which a Danish convert to Islam is suspected of killing five people in a Norwegian town appears to have been an ‘act of terror’, according to police, who say they had concerns about signs of radicalization
Police want suspect to undergo psychiatric evaluation
Flags flew at half-mast across Kongsberg after the deaths of four women and a man, all aged between 50 and 70. Three others, including an off-duty police officer, were wounded. The method of the attack, said Sjoevold, was similar to many politically motivated attacks carried out in Europe in recent years.
She said police wanted a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether he is fit to stand trial, and that those killed "appear to be random victims". Police said they received reports of a man carrying a bow and arrow at 1612 GMT on Wednesday. He was first observed by a police unit a few minutes later, fired arrows at the police and was apprehended after a hunt lasting about 35 minutes.
