Two people died, while 10 others are seriously injured after the 42-year-old suspect shot the victims inside and outside a well-known gay bar in Norway.
OSLO, Norway – A gunman went on a terrifying rampage in a gay bar and surrounding streets in Oslo on Saturday, June 25, killing two people and seriously injuring 10 on the day the city’s LGBTQ community was due to celebrate its annual Pride parade.
“I saw a man arrive with a bag, he picked up a gun and started to shoot,” said journalist Olav Roenneberg of public broadcaster NRK, who was in the area. “Then I saw the windows breaking and understood that I had to take cover.” “There is reason to think that this may be a hate crime,” officers told a news conference. “We are investigating whether the Pride was a target in itself or whether there are other motives.”
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere decried the shootings as a “terrible and deeply shocking attack on innocent people”.The shooting happened in the early hours of Saturday, and just months after Norway marked 50 years since the abolition of a law that criminalized gay sex. Eleven people also suffered minor injuries, police said.
