Oslo Pride has been cancelled following a deadly shooting near a gay bar that Norwegian police are investigating as a possible terrorist attack.
Two people were killed and at least 10 others were seriously wounded when a gunman opened fire near London Pub, which describes itself as “the largest gay and lesbian venue in Oslo” on the night of 24 June.
The shooting came just hours before the Norwegian city was set to host thousands for its first Pride parade since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But now, the event’s organisers have canceled the main parade and other events connected to the 10-day Pride festival at the suggestion of the police.
