The police on Thursday asked the public to “please stop sharing photos,” saying that doing so was “unwise and disrespectful.”

The police said the attacker had used a second weapon in the rampage, though they did not offer further details. But it was the arrows that marked the trail of devastation.

At 6:47 p.m., the police detained the suspect — 34 minutes after the first reports of violence.

A police lawyer, Ann Iren Svane Mathiassen, told TV2 that the suspect had lived in the town for several years.

Murder is rare in Norway. In a country with a population of just over five million, there were 31 murders last year, most involving people who knew each other.

Still, the nation has yet to fully reckon with the trauma of the devastating 2011 mass killing.

The Norwegian authorities have expressed concern that not enough is being done to root out right-wing extremism, especially among young people. In July, analysts with the country’s intelligence services warned that a decade after the 2011 attack, there are young men and boys who idolize the gunman.

Norway has stringent gun-control laws, and before that attack the country had experienced only one mass shooting: In 1988, a gunman killed four people and wounded two others.

In the past decade, the Norwegian authorities have stepped up their efforts to stamp out terrorism and political violence. That push has included an “action plan” that outlines preventive measures aimed at spotting and quelling the kind of radicalization that could lead to violence.
