Danish Police Shoot Dead Man Near Site of Copenhagen Attacks
COPENHAGEN: Copenhagen police said early Sunday they had shot dead a man who opened fire on officers hours after two people were killed and five wounded in twin shootings in the Danish capital.
"The police are now investigating if the person could be behind the shootings at Krudttoenden and the synagogue in Krystalgade," police said in a statement.
The exchange of fire took place in the multicultural inner-city neighbourhood of Noerrebro where police had been keeping an address under observation earlier in the day.
"At one point a person who could be interesting in relation to the investigation arrived at the site," police said.

No police officers were injured in the exchange of fire.
A 55-year-old man was killed Saturday when a gunman sprayed bullets at Copenhagen's Krudttoenden cultural centre as it hosted a seminar in which Lars Vilks -- the Swedish artist whose controversial Prophet Mohammed cartoon sparked worldwide protests in 2007 -- was among the speakers.
Hours later, a man was shot in the head and killed early Sunday near Copenhagen's main synagogue in the city centre.
A huge manhunt operation was underway in Denmark overnight after the attacker fled following both shootings.
Two policemen were wounded in the shooting at the synagogue, and three more officers hurt in the cultural centre attack.
Police said they did not have enough information to confirm whether the two shootings, which come just weeks after a series of bloody Islamist attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead, were linked.

The much-anticipated Pool B grudge match attracted a noisy full house to the recently revamped ground with up to a billion more expected to tune in on the sub-continent and around the world.
Virat Kohli's Ton Powers India to 300/7 vs Pakistan in World Cup
Virat Kohli scored an imperious century to steer India to an imposing 300 for seven as they opened their World Cup defence against Pakistan in a frenzied atmosphere at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
The much-anticipated Pool B grudge match attracted a noisy full house to the recently revamped ground with up to a billion more expected to tune in on the sub-continent and around the world.
It was the two thirds of the crowd dressed in the blue of India, though, who had the most to cheer about after India won the toss and chose to bat, Kohli brushing off his recent poor one-day form with a knock of 107.
Dropped from a difficult chance by Yasir Shah off Shahid Afridi on seven and again by wicketkeeper Umar Akmal on 76, Kohli otherwise played within himself and gave few chances in his 126-ball innings.
Pakistan, who have never beaten their neighbours in five previous World Cup meetings, had made an early breakthrough when Rohit Sharma misjudged the bounce of a Sohail Khan delivery and spooned the ball to Misbah-ul-Haq for 15.
That brought Kohli in to join Shikhar Dhawan and the pair set about ruthlessly snatching the momentum away from the Pakistanis with a dominant partnership of 129.
Their previously slick running between the wickets deserted them in the 30th over, however, and Dhawan was sent back by Kohli only to be run out for 73 by a direct hit.
Suresh Raina came in to join Kohli but there was no let up in the pace of Indian scoring with the left-hander bludgeoning three sixes in his 40-ball half century.
Kohli reached his hundred with a single to long on, whipping off his helmet to celebrate his 22nd century in one-dayers and the first by an Indian in a World Cup match against Pakistan.
Two balls later and Raina was celebrating his fifty but soon after raising his bat he was continuing the onslaught on the bowling to help drive the third-wicket partnership to 110.
They were separated when Kohli was caught behind after slashing at a Sohail delivery and Raina joined his team mate back in the dressing room soon afterwards for 74 when he holed out to the same bowler in the deep.
Sohail, who took 5-55 in his first one-dayer since 2011, helped wrest back some momentum for Pakistan, securing his five-wicket haul as Mahendra Singh Dhoni (18), Ravindra Jadeja (3) and Ajinkya Rahane (0) were sent back in the last two overs.
