Oslo shooting near gay bar investigated as terrorism, as Pride parade is canceled

[Still Waters]

Oslo's annual Pride parade was canceled on Saturday following a deadly shooting at a gay bar that Norwegian police are investigating as a possible terrorist attack.

Two people were killed and eight others taken to hospital after the shooting near the London Pub, which describes itself on its website as "the largest gay and lesbian venue in Oslo."

Police received multiple calls about the shooting at 1:14 a.m. local time, and arrived at the scene minutes later. They apprehended the male suspect three minutes after arrival, police said.

The suspect, charged with terrorism, is a Norwegian citizen originally from Iran, and was "known to the police," but has only received "minor convictions" up until now, prosecutor Christian Hatlo told reporters in Oslo Saturday.

Yes, they're still throwing people off tall buildings for being gay back in his homeland.... it's a religion thing.

Why is it that religious nuts of every background, in this case an islamic one, always attack the ones who are for real freedom and peace? They always attack the anyway vulnerable, either through guns or "laws".

Because they're cowards. If they wanted to be brave they could attack a military base.
