- Story Text: One person was shot in the head and two police were wounded in an attack on a synagogue in central Copenhagen, Danish police said on Sunday (February 15).
The attack took place hours after a first shooting on an event promoting freedom of speech in a Copenhagen cafe which killed one. The cafe was hosting Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has been threatened with death for depicting the Prophet Mohammad in cartoons.
Danish police launched a massive manhunt with helicopters roaring overhead and an array of armoured vehicles.
By 0500 GMT, police said they had fired shots and later confirmed they killed a man in Norrebro, an area in Copenhagen not far from the sites of the two attacks. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
