5 killed and 2 wounded in a bow and arrow attack in Norway

A man armed with a bow fired arrows at shoppers in a small Norwegian town Wednesday, killing five people before he was arrested.

Acting Prime Minister Erna Solberg described the attack as "gruesome" and said it was too early to speculate on a motive.

The prime minister-designate, Jonas Gahr Stoere, who is expected to take office Thursday, called the assault "a cruel and brutal act" in comments to Norwegian news agency NTB.
