Two people were killed, more than 12 were injured and one man was arrested in a mass shooting in Oslo.
This morning, city officials confirmed that the case was being investigated as a terrorist act.
Filming took place on Saturday morning outside a London pub, a popular gay bar in the heart of the Norwegian capital.
Two people died in the accident, 14 were taken to hospital and three are in serious condition.
The suspect was a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen from Iran who was arrested minutes after the shooting.
Deputy Director of Security Roger Berg called the shooting an “extreme Muslim terrorist act.”
He said the attackers arrested shortly after the shooting “had a long history of violence and intimidation.”
Police added that two weapons, including a fully automatic one, were recovered from the crime scene.
After the shootings, Norway raised the terror alert level to the highest level.
In Oslo last night, people were preparing for a pride event scheduled in the city last night.
Norway has just celebrated its 50th anniversary after abolishing the law criminalizing gay sex.
“There is reason to think this could be a hate crime,” an official told a news conference today.
“We are investigating if the herd itself was targeted or if there were other motives.
Following the advice of the police, Oslo Pride organizers made the difficult decision to cancel the planned pride celebration.
The statement reads: “Oslo Pride therefore encourages everyone planning to attend or view the parade not to show up.
“All measures related to Oslo Pride have been revoked.”
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stტოr told the LGBTQ+ community in his country:
He wrote on Facebook: “Tonight in Oslo, the shooting outside the London pub was a shocking and brutal attack on innocent people.”
He said the shooting caused fear and sadness in the LGBTQ community, although the reasons are unknown.
“We are all by his side,” Gahr Stoer added.
The man arrested after the shooting was arrested near the scene and was already known to police.
Filming started today at 01:20.
Norwegian broadcaster TV2 showed footage of people panicking in the city of Oslo when they heard a gunshot in the background.
Oslo University Hospital said a red warning was issued after the attack.
The shooting was witnessed by the journalist of the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, Olav Roenberg.
“I saw a man who came to the scene with a bag. He started shooting with a gun,” he told NRK.
“At first I thought it was an air gun, and then I realized that the glass in the bar next door was broken and I had to run to cover it.”
Norway is a relatively safe country, but is under heavy attack from right-wing extremists.
The country witnessed one of Europe’s deadliest mass shootings when right-wing militants killed 69 people on Utoya in 2011, after eight people were killed in a bomb blast in Oslo.
Anders Behring Breivik killed a young man who was attending a youth camp on the island.
In 2019, another right-wing extremist killed his stepmother and shot at the mosque, where he had to fight back before being injured.
In May, three people were stabbed to death in a Norwegian village as a result of a “random” attack.
Three people were injured in the incident and police spokesman Od Sky Skywait said it was a “family problem”.
