Norway: Suspect in deadly Pride shooting agrees to custody

OSLO, Norway (AP) — A Norwegian court says the suspect in Saturday’s mass shooting during an LGBTQ festival in Oslo has agreed to be held in pretrial custody for four weeks and will therefore not appear in court. Zaniar Matapour, a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen originally from Iran, was arrested shortly after the predawn shooting in Oslo’s nightlife district and was held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism. Two people were killed and more than 20 were wounded in what the Norwegian security service called an “Islamist terror act.” The motive is unknown. A Pride parade scheduled for Saturday was canceled because of the shooting.
