Copenhagen shootings: Police kill 'gunman' after two attacks

BBC News - Copenhagen shootings: Police kill 'gunman' after two attacks

Police in Copenhagen say they have shot dead a man they believe was behind two deadly attacks in the Danish capital hours earlier.

Police say they killed the man in the Norrebro district after he opened fire on them.

It came after one person was killed and three police officers injured at a free speech debate in a cafe on Saturday.

In the second attack, a Jewish man was killed and two police officers wounded near the city's main synagogue.

Police say video surveillance suggested the same man carried out both attacks. They do not believe any other people were involved.

Freedom of speech is under attack in Europe. It's becoming increasingly dangerous to express your thoughts or criticize openly. It's also becoming increasingly dangerous to simply be Jewish...

I'm glad the gunman was taken out but he's only one of many. These copycat attacks are on the rise and it's a massive problem that no one wants to confront.

You cannot "confront" lone wolves until they attack

Sounds like the police in Copenhagen confronted it, and with good result.
 
These 'confrontations' will continue well into the future until one side wins or loses.

For most here, probably not in their lifetimes.

Pity he is dead. Forensic evidence is better if accompanied by interrogation.
 
What's the guy's name, I wonder.... and is there any speculation as to motive or faction?

His name is Omar Abdel Hamid el-Hussein and his motives are probably similar to those of other islamic terrorists around the world. Targeting Jews and free speech advocates sort of gives the game away.

What is there to be surprised about? Denmark was becoming a safe heaven for well practicing ISIS terrorists?
 
I'm betting on the Copenhagen cops. You?
No, I wouldn't bet on the Copenhagen cops or their politicians. I'd go for the Danish people to start taking matters into their own hands first. That's true for many Europeans.

Whoa! Vigilante justice in Denmark?
 
All of Scandinavia was ripe.

We had a thread here about Denmark specifically making a safe heaven for ISIS terrorists. PeteEU was trying to make a good case of Denmark's policies back then:

See my post 52 about Denmarks safe heaven for ISIS terrorists. They are just doing what they are programmed to do: destroy freedom of speech.

I would like to read his position now? :lol:

Your post in 55 is not bad neither though :lol:

Yes, it's getting harder and harder to be an asshole. God damn it, they need reform.

We all should be scared, shaking like a leaf on a Aspen tree. Oh wait, perhaps they don't have them in Eastern Europe.

Much of that thread seems prescient. Although it's not reflected in the media the Danes are getting fed up with whats happening as are the Swedes. Sweden: Rape Capital of the West

Can people seriously believe that these killings and threats can go on for three, five, ten or twenty years without some response from those who's way of life are being drastically altered? Give credit to Norway for taking action to solve their problems. IS ANYBODY SURPRISED? NORWAY DEPORTS MUSLIMS, CRIME RATE DROPS 31%

If they do not respond then during those two decades their life will be allowed from them to be altered from medieval people. What could possibly be good about that? There should be something attractive about that that is keeping people asleep. Wonder what it is.

They deport, we reinforce our national values over the religious ones.
