Jewish Man Dead in Second Copenhagen Attack, Police Kill Shooter

A man who opened fire on police and who might have been involved in two attacks that took place in Copenhagen has been killed, authorities say.

On Saturday and the small hours of Sunday, two people died and a few others were wounded after a man opened fire at two locations in the Danish capital.

The second attack, which occurred near a synagogue, claimed the life of a Jewish man and left two officers wounded.

The first took place on Sunday afternoon at a cafe where an event dedicated to freedom of speech was to take place. It had been organized by a man famous for his cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad as a dog. 

Police have not fully confirmed, but believe the two attacks were interlinked and the man shot by police was involved.
