Norway attack: Kongsberg 'shocked and struggling to comprehend what has happened'
Four women and a man were killed and two others wounded when a man used a bow and arrow to attack them in in the town of Kongsberg, south-west of the capital Oslo, Norway, on the evening of 13 October. Officials say they're treating the attack as an act of terrorism. According to police, the 37-year-old suspect was a convert to Islam who had showed signs of radicalisation, and have named him as Espen Andersen Bråthen. They say he is a Danish national living in the town.
The mayor of Kongsberg, Kari Anne Sand, says that people in the town are "shocked and struggling to comprehend what has happened", and that the suspect is known to the police. She said that a crisis team would help anyone affected.
