Norway: Bow and arrow attacker who killed 5 is a convert to Islam familiar to mental health authorities

Update: Norwegian convert arrested for the killings in Kongsberg

Sources inform TV 2 that the arrested man in Kongsberg is a Norwegian convert to Islam, who has had contact with the Norwegian health service several times.

A man has been arrested after injuring and killing multiple people with a bow and arrow and multiple areas have been evacuated in Norway, and police say it is too early to tell whether the attacks were terror-related.

An exact count of the number of injured or dead from Wednesday’s incident has not yet been released. There is no suspicion that anyone else was involved.
