Three injured in Copenhagen gang shooting
3 people were injured after being shot or stabbed at Field's centre near Copenhagen airport
COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Two groups linked to criminal gangs opened fire in a shopping mall in suburban Copenhagen on Wednesday, injuring three people, police said.
"Everything indicates that two gang-related groups have clashed inside the shopping centre," Copenhagen police said in a statement.
"It culminated in the basement parking area where a further, still unknown number of shots were fired," it added.
The three people were injured after being shot or stabbed at the Field s centre near the Copenhagen airport, it said.
Copenhagen is on edge after a gunman killed two people in twin attacks last month.
Omar El-Hussein, a 22-year-old Dane of Palestinian origin, killed a filmmaker outside a cultural centre hosting a seminar on free speech and Islam, and went on to kill an unarmed Jewish security guard outside a synagogue.
El-Hussein was shot dead by police in a pre-dawn shootout.
