Trial begins in Norway of man accused of deadly shooting at LGBTQ+ festival in Oslo
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The trial has begun in Norway for a man accused of aggravated terrorism for the deadly shooting at an LGBTQ+ festival in Oslo’s nightlife district. Two people were killed and nine seriously wounded in the shooting in June 2022. The prosecutor says the Norwegian citizen originally from Iran had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State group. If found guilty, he faces 30 years in prison. The shooting shocked Norway, which has a relatively low crime rate but has experienced so-called lone wolf attacks in recent decades.
