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.'
NORWAY -- The Norwegian security service PST has raised its terror alert to the highest level after a mass shooting left 2 people dead and many wounded during Pride week in Oslo.
Police attorney Christian Hatlo said the suspect was being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism, based on the number of people targeted at multiple locations. "When I walked into Cesar's bar there were a lot of people starting to run and there was a lot of screaming. I thought it was a fight out there, so I pulled out. But then I heard that it was a shooting and that there was someone shooting with a submachine gun," Nybakken told Norwegian broadcaster TV2.
"We sympathize with all relatives and affected and send warm thoughts to all who are now scared, restless and in grief," the Norwegian monarch said in a statement."We must stand together to defend our values: freedom, diversity and respect for each other. We must continue to stand up for all people to feel safe."
Investigators said the suspect was known to police, as well as to Norway's security police, but not for any major violent crimes. His criminal record included a narcotics offense and a weapons offense for carrying a knife, Hatlo said.
