This is odd for two reasons, mass shootings are rare in Norway, and the shooter was armed with a bow and arrow.
This is some profoundly weird sh%$:
A man armed with a bow and arrow killed five people and wounded two others in a series of attacks in the Norwegian town of Kongsberg on Wednesday, local police said.
The suspect was in custody, police added.
"The man used a bow and arrow ... for some of the attacks," police chief Oeyvind Aas told reporters. The police were investigating whether other weapons had also been used, he said.
"The man has been apprehended ... from the information we now have, this person carried out these actions alone," Aas added.
Given that the last mass shooting in Norway was Anders Breivik who killed 77 people, most of them teenagers, this is not so bad.
Unlike Breivik, I don't think that whoever this is will have close ties to the American far right.
Bow and arrow is just not their style.
