The surveillance videos are from when the first police patrol arrived at the Coop store in Kongsberg where Espen Andersen Bråthen shot around with an arrow and a bow. The videos were taken at about the same time, but from two different surveillance cameras inside the store. The police emphasize that the videos are not synchronous, as they are a few seconds time shift on the videos. Bråthen shoots at the policemen An important theme in connection with the events in Kongsberg has been that the police entered the Coop store without protective equipment. That was the reason why they backed out again when they were Scottish after with bow and arrow. The two policemen who first came to the shop had been told that their colleague Rigoberto Villarroel had been shot and had an arrow in his back. In the video from the entrance, you can see that two shots are fired with a bow and arrow at the officials. – It is this person who looks inside the store at the recordings that are now being released, the police write in the press release where they release the videos. They also write that it has been six minutes since he was hit by an arrow until one sees Villaroel in the videos. Published evaluation report The Police Academy has today published a report on the Kongsberg incidents. In the report, the committee writes that the patrols made qualified assessments for the use of protective equipment. At the same time, the committee writes that “the first patrol, after receiving the liaison report about a policeman who was shot, and they saw the person in question with an arrow in the back, nevertheless took a disproportionate risk by not using more protective equipment”. – This meant that they arrived in the city several minutes faster than they otherwise would have done, says police inspector at the Police Academy Steinar Vee Henriksen The committee points out that the choice for the use of protective equipment may have had an impact on the assignment solution. The police explained themselves in court The police explained themselves in court about the assessment they came to the Coop store. The policeman who first entered the store says that they assessed the situation so critically that they had to get into the building quickly. – It is up to the individual patrol to put on full protective equipment. We considered it this way that we had to get control of the perpetrator quickly, he said in court.
