Would this still be considered a "mass shooting" or would there be another name for it?
Since mass shooting is associated with fireamrs I think this will be categorized either as mass murder or massacre.

AFAIK Bows are not considered firearms but crossbow are banned. They did issue a PLIVO, which replaced "shooting occuring" post Utøya, basically when PLIVO is activated it goes to Police, Fire, SAR and medical. In the news here it's treated like a shooting. PST did know of him and are considering that this would be a terror attack. Espen Andresen Bråthen did fire arrows at the first police patrol that arrived on scene, they took cover but lost him. He did convert to Islam, he had been issued a restraining order by his parents because he threatened to kill last year.
