OSLO – Norway’s prime minister and members of the royal family have joined mourners at a memorial service for the victims of a shooting attack as the capital held its annual Pride festival.
A gunman opened fire in central Oslo’s nightlife district early Saturday, killing two men and wounding more than 20 other people in what the Norwegian security service called an “Islamist terror act.”
A suspect, identified as a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen originally from Iran, is in custody.
The capital’s Pride parade, was scheduled to take place Saturday but was canceled.
Police investigators said it was unclear whether hatred of people based on sexual orientation and gender identity motivated the attack.
