It all started with a video uploaded to YouTube, where Rainer Winklarson, this is the man’s name, showed himself intent on practicing target shooting with a bow and arrow. Nobody could have imagined what would happen shortly thereafter. In fact, shortly after sunset, the man left for a Coop supermarket in the Norwegian town where he started shooting arrows at people.

Once the police received the first phone call, they made the agents intervene, but also two helicopters and ten ambulances. A team of bomb squads also intervened.
The citizens of the area were warned not to leave their homes, while the policemen were equipped with service weapons, this is because they are not normally armed.

According to statements released to the press by the Norwegian police spokesman: “There are several dead and injured“.

In that sense, Norwegian television has claimed that there are five deaths while an exact number was not communicated by the police.
