5 dead 2 injured Norway bow and arrow attack

[Efour]

Well Jesus Christ on a bike welcome to 15th century Norway my ladies and lords.

Who needs guns or knives to cause mayhem?

I am kinda surprised this is the first high profile mass bow killing I'm aware of in recent post terrorism times?

I know it's really soon but I kinda wanna say, I used to be an adventurer too, till i took an arrow to my knee. I hope that's ok.

It really does get me thinking just how random life can be. Must have been some horrific good shooting from close range to kill people outright.. Jesus.

Death penalty would be acceptable for loons like this

 

[Ahleckz]

Anyone checked on our resident prepper?

A lot will depend on which heads he used. Some of the modern hunting heads are absolutely brutal.

I think there was a school 'shooting' in the US with a bow and arrow or crossbow about 5-10 years ago.

I mean we literally had the crossbow killer here...

Shooting a couple of dozen arrows designed to kill from a powerful enough bow in an area crowded with unarmoured people might well kill 5 people without being at particularly close range or an extremely high level of skill.

Hitting a moving target takes skill. I'm assuming he has a history in archery and didn't buy an archery set 10 minutes before.

Possible LARPer?

Is this another Anders Brevik I wonder...?

EDIT: The man was identified by TV2 as an ethnic Norwegian who converted to Islam and is known to mental health workers.

 

[jsmoke]

Crazy, waiting for the slingshot next.

 

[BUDFORCE]

Omg omg omg ban bows and arrows.

 

[Efour]

Swedish newspaper says it wasn't just a bow, he was stabbing too.

Silly fool.

[something daft already!!]

Not really a subject to be making light of.

 

[Johno please?]

Converting to Islam should be considered a mental illness.

 

[200sols]

Basically mean he wasn't a Muslim.

I wouldn't be so sure...

A Danish man aged 37 has been arrested and questioned for hours overnight.

Police said they had previously been in contact with him over fears of radicalisation after he converted to Islam.
