An LGBTQI+ march in Oslo scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled after late-night shootings hit the Norwegian capital.
Police requested event organisers call off the event, following the targetting of two bars, including one gay club, on Friday night.
After clear recommendations from the police, "all events related to Oslo Pride are cancelled," the organisers wrote in a post published on their Facebook page this morning.
Norwegian police said they were treating last night's shootings, which took place in front of two bars in the centre of Oslo, as "a terrorist act".
Two people were left dead and at least 14 more have been injured.
"The police are investigating the facts as an act of terrorism," the police said in a statement.
One suspect has been arrested after the shooting, which occurred outside the bars at around 1:00 a.m. local time (23:00 GMT).
