Two killed in Norway 'terror' shooting

Norwegian police officers stand guard in the streets of central Oslo, Norway, on June 25, 2022.

Two people were killed and at least 21 others wounded in shootings near bars in central Oslo early Saturday that police were treating as a "terrorist attack".

Police said a suspect had been arrested following the shootings, which occurred around 1:00 am (2300 GMT Friday) in three locations, including a gay bar, close together in the centre of the Norwegian capital.

"The police are investigating the events as a terrorist attack," police said in a statement.

A Pride march that was due to take place in the capital on Saturday afternoon was called off following the violence in the normally tranquil city.
