Oslo Pride shooter handed maximum sentence

The gunman who killed two people at Oslo’s 2022 Pride festival was handed decades behind bars Thursday over the attack that the court said aimed to “instill fear in LGBTQ people”.

Zaniar Matapour, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, was found guilty 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.
