Mass shooting in Copenhagen leaves three people dead –– a man in his 40s and 'two young people' –– and many wounded including three seriously, Denmark police say
A gunman opened fire in a Copenhagen shopping mall, one of the largest of its kind in Scandinavia, killing three people and wounding several others, three of them critically, police have said.
He didn't provide any further details on the victims or suspect, but said the suspect arrested is the mall shooter and has been charged for manslaughter. Images from the scene showed people running out of the mall, and Denmark’s TV2 broadcaster posted a photo of a man being put on a stretcher. Witnesses said people were crying and hid in shops.Laurits Hermansen told Danish broadcaster DR that he was in a clothing store at the shopping centre with his family when he heard “three-four bangs. Really loud bangs. It sounded like the shots were being fired just next to the store.
Police said they were first alerted to the shooting at 5:36 pm . A huge presence of heavily-armed police officers arrived at the scene, with several fire department vehicles also parked outside the mall.
