Two people killed and 14 injured in shooting at a Norwegian night club

Norwegian police said two people were killed and 14 were injured on Saturday in a nightclub and shooting in a nearby street in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.

Police told reporters that the suspect, who appears to be the only perpetrator, was arrested.

The crime scene spread from a pub in London via a nearby club to a street near , and a police spokesman said the suspect was arrested minutes after the shooting began. Tore Barstad told the newspaper Aftenposten.

The London Pub is a popular gay bar and nightclub in the heart of Oslo .

"I saw a man arrive with a bag, he picked up a gun and started shooting," reported Olav Roenneberg, a journalist at the Public Broadcasting Corporation NRK.

I didn't immediately know what the motive for the attack was.

Oslo plans to hold a pride parade every Saturday.

"It has been confirmed that two people have died," Oslo police said in a tweet.

Red light hospital

Police said about 14 people were taken to the hospital and several were seriously injured.

Photos published by newspaper VG, broadcaster NRK, etc. showed a large gathering of emergency response personnel outside the pub, including police and ambulance workers.

The helicopter floated above the center of Oslo while ambulance and police sirens were heard throughout the city.

A university hospital in Oslo said it was on alert following the shooting.
