Police in Norway are treating the shooting in Oslo as an act of terrorism. The shooting took place at three locations in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Public broadcaster NRK and other Norwegian media reported that one of the locations of the armed attack was the London Pub, a nightclub popular with the gay community, located in a central part of Oslo.
The shooting killed two people and injured 14. Following the attack, organizers announced that the annual "pride parade" by the Norwegian capital's LGBTQ+ community, which had been scheduled for today, was canceled.
A suspect was arrested
NRK journalist Olaf Ronenberg, who was an eyewitness, said: "I saw a man enter carrying a bag. He pulled out a gun and started shooting."
Another eyewitness told NRK: "I was outside the London Pub when it happened. I was aware of a shot and was hit by broken glass. More shots followed, so I took refuge inside and tried to pull more people with me."
Around 2 a.m. (local time) Norwegian police announced that they had arrested a suspect.
The images broadcast by Norwegian networks captured the aftermath of the armed attack at the nightclub, with ambulances and police cars rushing to the scene.
"In total, 10 people received first aid from rescuers. Three people were seriously injured," police operation chief Torre Barstad told Norwegian television."
Earlier, Oslo University Hospital said it had been put on "alert" to receive injured people.
