3 killed, 4 wounded in shooting in Denmark
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – A gunman opened fire on Sunday on the crowd in a shopping mall in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, killing three and wounding four others.
Copenhagen police inspector Søren Thomassen told reporters that a 22-year-old Danish man was arrested after the shooting, adding there was no indication that anyone else was involved in the attack, though police were still investigating.
The shopping mall attack took place as Denmark celebrated hosting the first three stages of the Tour de France for the first time.
The police said the victims were two Danish 17-year-olds and a 47-year old Russian citizen. Two Danes and two Swedes are in critical condition in hospital.
The shooting came a week after a mass shooting in Norway, a neighboring country, where police said a Norwegian man of Iranian origin opened fire during a LGBTQ festival, killing two and wounding more than 20.
