Several killed, wounded in Oslo as gunman opens fire at geyh bar on Pride day

[France24] A gunman went on a terrifying rampage in a gay bar and surrounding streets in Oslo on Saturday, killing two people and seriously injuring 10 on the day the city's LGBTQ community was due to celebrate its annual Pride parade.

The victims were shot inside and outside the London Pub, a well-known gay bar and nightclub open since 1979, as well as at one other bar in the centre of the Norwegian capital. "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."

A suspect, a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen of Iranian origin,

was detained minutes after, according to police who said they believed he acted alone. Two weapons, including a fully automatic gun, were retrieved from the crime scene, they added.
"vibrant and diverse"
"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." Oslo police spokesman Rune Hekkelstrand told Reuters the attack was also being investigated as a possible act of terrorism.

#2 Why is this in non-WOT? Attack on a gay pride parade by an Iranian immigrant. Authorities in Norway say it was an Islamic terrorist. If it had happened in the US they would say they're still looking for a motive.

#6 Why is this in non-WOT?

I’m having trouble getting going today, but after reading the article, I agree. Moved to Page 1. Usually the authorities in Scandinavia avoid mentioning anything that might suggest that their Moslem colonists act like conquering hordes.

#8 Iranian refugee turned 'terrorist', 42,

Good find, Skidmark.

Rantburg teamwork at its best: I saw articles on the story last night that did not suggest it was interesting to us here at Rantburg. Besoeker — very early in the morning, because he is just that good — found an article with better information and posted it. jpal challenged the filing with a cogent summary of critical points, and Skidmark nailed it home this evening from the Daily Mail.
