Several people have been killed and injured after a man with a bow and arrow began shooting at people in Kongsberg, Norway on Wednesday.
“There are several injured and also dead,” Kongsberg police chief Øyvind Aas said at a press conference on Wednesday night, the Associated Press reported.
The BBC reported the attacker began shooting arrows at a Coop Extra supermarket on Kongsberg’s west side. Residents were then ordered to stay indoors.
According to police, the suspect walked around the city of Kongsberg, shooting at people with the bow and arrows. A suspect was eventually arrested and taken to a police station in the town of Drammen.
An investigation into the attack and the underlying motive is underway.
It is not immediately clear how many people were killed or injured in the bow and arrow attack. The injured have since been taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Aas said there are “several crime scenes.”
The police chief said the suspect appears to have acted alone.
The Norwegian Ministry of Justice announced, “Minister of Justice and Emergency Management Monica Mæland has been informed of the situation at Kongsberg and is following it closely.”
