Police Release Details on Suspected Gunman in Copenhagen Attacks
Danish police shot and killed a man early Sunday suspected in the slayings of two people in Copenhagen since Saturday, in what the country’s prime minister calls a “cynical act of terror against Denmark.”
Authorities said the Denmark-born 22-year-old alleged gunman was fatally shot after he opened fire on officers near a train station.
His previous criminal record included violence and weapons offenses, according to police.
Officials said no evidence suggests other gunmen were involved in the shootings, one at a free-speech event and the other outside a Copenhagen synagogue.
Police investigator Joegen Skov said Sunday, “We are still faced with a huge investigation. We need to make sure that our theory is in fact correct.
