The news of the second day after the night of violence in Kansberg focused on two men. A person is a criminal who is allegedly mentally ill. Evidence is “increasing,” Police Commissioner Per Thomas Omholt told a news conference Friday afternoon. But first you have to wait for the results of the psychiatric tests until you follow the other hypotheses. Norwegian police have not yet ruled out terrorism.
The courage of one of the three injured who survived Wednesday evening is drawing more attention in Norway as well. The man was a police officer, but walked out. He was in plain clothes and was shopping at the Coop supermarket when an attack took place there. The accused shot him with a bow and arrow in his hand.
