A 42-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder and terrorist acts, after a shooting in the centre of Norway's capital, Oslo.
Two people were killed and 21 injured in the attack on a busy nightlife district.
There was gunfire at about 01:00 local time (23:00 GMT) on Saturday, in three locations including a gay bar.
Shots were fired at the London Pub, a popular LGBTQ+ venue, and near the Herr Nilsen jazz club and a takeaway.
"I saw a man arrive with a bag, he picked up a gun and started to shoot," journalist Olav Roenneberg of public broadcaster NRK said.
One witness in the London Pub told NRK that he had been hit by flying glass.
"I was in the outer bar in London when it happened. I just noticed that a shot was fired, and I was hit by a shard of glass. There were more and more and more shots, so I escaped into the inner bar and tried to get as many as possible with me," he said.
"At first people did not understand what was happening, but then there was panic."
In a Facebook post, the team at the London Pub called the shooting "absolutely horrific and pure evil".
"Our thoughts go to the dead, injured and relatives," it added. "All employees... are safe and physically unharmed. Take care of each other during this time."
