(CNN)  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.

Norway attack: Mass shooting suspect 'radicalised Islamist' - as terror threat raised to highest level

Security services raise the country's terror alert to the highest level of "extraordinary" and police will now carry guns following the armed rampage, which killed two people, wounded more than 20 and led to the cancellation of the city's Pride parade

 

A suspected gunman charged over a deadly mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Norway's capital Oslo is believed to be a radicalised Islamist with a history of mental illness, according to the country's intelligence service.

 

The attack, which killed two people and wounded more than 20, has led the PST security agency to raise its terror alert to "extraordinary" - the highest level.

 

It came as people flocked to the scene of the incident to pay tribute to those killed and hurt, by laying a colourful carpet of flowers and LGBT+ flags, including Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway and members of the government.

Problem is that in Norway, muslim community leaders have never, strongly, condemned this kind of behaviour as totally unacceptable.

And asked other muslims to do the same...

(As, of couse, caucasians also should do about white, right wing violence)

If, as they say, he's been radicalised and he has mental issues it shouldn't be difficult to find out who's convinced him to do this. It's amazing how religious fanatics get the weak to do their dirty work.   

 

Such a waste of young lives yet again.  R.I.P.

 

It'll be interesting to see what the "minor convictions" were and who they were directed against. I'm guessing they weren't parking tickets.
