LGBT march in Norway for cancelled Pride parade

Hundreds of people marched through the Norwegian capital on Saturday in an LGBT solidarity event to honor the Pride parade that was canceled in June after a deadly shooting outside a popular gay bar.

Marchers in "The Rainbow Train" passed the central Oslo nightlife district where a man identified as Zaniar Matapour shot and killed two men and injured several others outside the London Pub on June 25, just hours before the planned start of the Pride parade.

Norwegian citizen Matapour is being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism. His motive for the shooting remains unclear but police said hate crime is a possibility.

Organizers stressed the event Saturday wasn't meant to be a substitute for the original Pride parade but rather a show of solidarity to Norway's LGBT community.
