A gunman opened fire in Oslo’s nightlife district early Saturday, killing two people and leaving more than 20 wounded in what the Norwegian security service called an “Islamist terror act” during the capital’s annual LGBTQ Pride festival

Police said two men, one in his 50s and and the other his 60s, died in the shootings. Ten people were treated for serious injuries, but none of them was believed to be in life-threatening condition. Eleven others had minor injuries.

Upon the advice of police, organizers canceled a Pride parade that was set for Saturday as the highlight of a weeklong festival. Scores of people marched through the capital anyway, waving rainbow flags. Police said civilians assisted them in detaining the suspect. Police attorney Christian Hatlo said the man was being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism, based on the number of people targeted at multiple locations.

Another witness, Marcus Nybakken, 46, said he saw a lot of people running and screaming and thought it was a fistfight. “Many were fearing for their lives,” he said. “On our way out we saw several injured people, so we understood that something serious had happened.”

RELIGION OF PEACE STRIKES AGAIN

A *kurdish* gunman

All cultures are equal, ...that's what you said.

Still think we should be like Norway?

Thought they said it was only an American problem. Guess it isn’t

I’m confused. I thought mass shootings only happened in America? Don’t they have gun laws over there?

Peaceful community spreading peace everywhere

Some of these people who attack are gay themselves but dare not admit it
