Man Killed in Copenhagen at Event Linked to Muhammad cartoonist

A 40-year-old man was killed in Copenhagen Saturday when  a cafe, the site of a freedom of speech event, came under fire, Danish police said.

The event was organized by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who had been threatened several times for drawing caricatures of Prophet Muhammad eight years ago.

The unknown assailants have managed to flee in a car after the shooting.
