Police to be reviewed after killing spree

Norway on Saturday announced it will hold an independent investigation into the actions of police and security agencies following a bow-and-arrow attack that killed five people and injured three others.

Norway’s domestic intelligence agency, known by the acronym PST, said it decided to seek the review about the attack Wednesday night in the southern town of Kongsberg. A 37-year-old local resident who police said has admitted to the killings has been detained and is undergoing psychiatric evaluation.

Police have been criticized for reacting too slowly to contain the massacre. According to a police timeline, the first information on the attack was logged at 6:13 p.m. and Espen Andersen Braathen was caught at 6:47 p.m.
