Denmark officials have indicated that three people were shot and killed and four injured at a shopping mall in Copenhagen yesterday. The shooting unfolded inside Field’s, a shopping center in the Danish capital.

Copenhagen Head of Police Soren Thomassen outlined that the 22-year-old shooter has been arrested and will undergo a psychiatric evaluation for the next twenty-four days.

Thomassen also highlighted that the shooter was known to mental health services as he has a history of mental illness. Thomassen further stated that the shooting could possibly be linked to terrorism and that an extensive police investigation is underway across the country.

An employee affiliated with Fields outlined that masses of people had run to seek shelter in the Kentucky Fried Chicken at Field’s. Staff members barricaded the doors and remained there for about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, Danish President Mette Frederiksen outlined in a statement that the events which unfolded at Fields are disheartening and have disrupted the balance of the country.

Frederiksen also assured that justice will also be served.

“We have all been brutally ripped from the bright summer that had just begun. It is incomprehensible. Heartbreaking. Meaningless. Our beautiful and usually so safe capital was changed in a split second,” Frederiksen said.
