A Norwegian court is set to deliver its verdict Thursday on a shooter who killed two people hours before Oslo’s 2022 Pride festival, shocking the placid country and leading to the cancellation of the parade.
Zaniar Matapour, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, is accused of opening fire on June 25, 2022 outside two bars in central Oslo, including a famous gay club, just hours before the Pride Parade.
Nine other people were wounded.
