"I understand that many people are afraid, but it’s important to emphasise that the police are now in control," she told a news conference. Police chief Oeyvind Aas told a news conference: "A man was apprehended at 6.47pm. From the information we have at the moment, one person committed this act alone." "It is natural to consider whether it is an act of terrorism," he said, but it is "too early to come to any conclusion". Richard Wood, the UK’s ambassador to Norway, tweeted from his official account: “Police confirming that five people have been killed in #Kongsberg and several injured including a policeman. A shocking incident. Sincere condolences to those affected.” One witness told local outlet TV2 she had heard a commotion and seen a woman taking cover, then a "man standing on the corner with arrows in a quiver on his shoulder and a bow in his hand". "Afterwards, I saw people running for their lives. One of them was a woman holding a child by the hand," she added.
