The bow attack in Kongsberg, Norway is on Wednesday

a German citizen was also killed.

This was confirmed by the Foreign Office of the German Press Agency on Saturday.

Norwegian media, t-online.de and the Bild newspaper had previously reported this.

"Unfortunately, we have to confirm that one of the victims is a German citizen who has been living in Norway for a long time," said a spokesman for the Foreign Office.

He did not provide any further details about the woman's age or living conditions.

The Norwegian police announced the identity of the five people who were killed in the attack on Saturday.

Accordingly, there were four women aged 52, 56, 75 and 78 years and a 75-year-old man.

The investigators still did not provide any information about the identity of the three injured.

You have now been released from the hospital.

The investigators also said that doubts about an act motivated by terrorism were growing.

There are indications that the suspect has not really converted to Islam, said police inspector Thomas Omholt at a press conference.

Instead, the suspicion of a mental illness was confirmed.

A 37-year-old Dane had admitted to killing five people in downtown Kongsberg on Wednesday evening.

The man had shot at numerous people with a bow and arrow, among other things.

As it turned out, the man had been the focus of authorities for years.

Among other things, he published a video in 2017 in which he described himself as a Muslim and announced an action.

He was not trusted to commit a politically motivated act of violence.

The investigations have now shown that the man did not take his alleged conversion to Islam seriously, said Omholt on Saturday.

Probably a lone perpetrator

The investigators assume that the man acted alone.

There is no indication that he has been in contact with other people.

The alleged perpetrator's lawyer told Norwegian broadcaster TV2 that he agreed with the police's preliminary results.

According to the police, the Dane had been in frequent contact with the health service over the course of several years.

Omholt did not want to comment on details about the mental health of the man in order not to influence testimony, as he emphasized.

A court ordered the Dane to be detained for four weeks on Friday.

He has to spend the first two weeks in isolation.

In addition, the court imposed a ban on visits, the media and letters.

Due to his state of health, however, he is not yet able to be questioned.

He was not placed in a prison but in a closed medical facility;

the police announced this.
