The five victims of last week's attack in #Norway were all stabbed to death, rather than killed by bow-and-arrow as previously thought, police said Monday, in an updated statement detailing the chain of events in the roughly 35-minute rampage.
As now known, an off-duty police officer was injured by an arrow inside the supermarket. It is now also known that the person exited into Myntgata, walked down Peckels gate, fired several arrows, also against other persons. The bow and arrows were found in Peckels gate: Police
When he arrived in Hyttegata, he was no longer armed with bow and arrows. The five people killed by a stabbing weapon were killed in Hyttegata. Some were killed in their homes, some outside in public: Police
Espen Andersen Bråthen, a 37-year-old Danish citizen, was arrested over the attack. Bråthen had converted to Islam and officers had previously been in contact with him, including over concerns related to radicalization.
