Tears in Oslo after two dead and 21 injured in nightclub 'terror' shooting

The royal family of Norway joined grieving citizens in Oslo tonight to pay their respects to two men killed in a shooting at a nightclub now being investigated as a 'terror act'. Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Crown Prince Haakon joined hundreds of mourners at an impromptu memorial.

People were pictured arm in arm comforting each other in central Oslo. A gunman opened fire in the city's nightlife district early on Saturday, killing two people and leaving more than 20 wounded in what the Norwegian security service called an 'Islamist terror act' during the capital's annual LGBTQ Pride festival, which was cancelled as a result.

Investigators said the suspect, identified as a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen originally from Iran, was arrested after opening fire at three locations in central Oslo.
