A Pride-weekend nightmare in Norway
A 42-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder and terrorist acts after a shooting in the centre of Norway’s capital, Oslo. Two people were killed and 21 injured in the attack on a busy nightlife district early on Saturday. Police said they consider the attack an act of extreme Islamist terrorism.
The victims were shot in and outside the London Pub, a popular LGBTQ+ venue, and near the Herr Nilsen jazz club and another pub. Oslo’s annual gay Pride parade was due to be held on Saturday, and was formally cancelled on police advice. But despite that, hundreds of people marched near the scene later in the day, shouting: “We’re here, we’re queer, we won’t disappear!”
