In the rural Norwegian city of Oslo, two people were killed and many more injured
when a terrorist attacked this Saturday. A memorial will be hosted to remember the victims of this shooting.
The attack first began in the morning, when the suspect supposedly pulled a gun from his bag
and shot bullets repeatedly at the people there, scaring them and forcing them to run away. After about 7 minutes, the shooter was finally arrested by police officers, with two weapons found- on their body.
The Oslo Pride parade was canceled in place of hosting the memorial. However, Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere claimed that it did not deter the fight against discrimination,
prejudices, and hate. Instead, he said that thousands of people had actually waved rainbow flags, as a sign of support for the LGBTQ+ community and were throwing flowers in
the shooting area.
He also said that during the day “the city was full of people who wanted to speak out, about
sorrow and anger, but also about support and solidarity and the will to continue on fighting, for the right of every individual to live a free life, a safe life.,”
The memorial will be hosted at the Oslo Cathedral, where people promised that the fight wasn’t over, that they weren’t safe from danger yet. They would win the war together.
Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit also came to the church memorial.
There, she said “Bullets can’t kill love”
