Copenhagen shooting

At 17:36 today (3rd of July 2022), the Danish police received reports that a shooting was taking place at Field's, Denmark's largest shopping mall, situated about 5 km (2 miles) south of Copenhagen. Later today, a concert with Harry Styles had been planned in the arena across the street, so the mall was even more packed than it usually is.

The police arrived at the scene within a few minutes, followed by several ambulances and air ambulances. The area was quartered off, the building was evacuated, and the suspect was apprehended within 10 minutes. The suspect is a 22 year old ethnically Danish (in other terms, white and not from an immigrant family) man. The police have identified the suspect and their investigation is in full force.

The suspect's motivations are unknown. In one video, the suspect can be heard yelling "perker," a racial slur directed primarily towards Middle Eastern people. In another video he can be heard yelling something that can best be translated as "I'm not shooting for real" or "these are fake shots" while waving around what appears to be a rifle.

The death count is unknown, but it has been confirmed to be more than three. One of the victims was a teenage girl. Most of the injured people were moved to surrounding hospitals, while three were air-lifted to the national hospital (Rigshospitalet). It is possible that the reason no death count has been published is that some victims are in such a critical condition they may die in the coming days.

As of 23:11, the surrounding area is still evacuated, the metro going to the mall has been put out of use, the roads have been blocked, and the people living next to the mall are not permitted to go outside. The gunman is believed to have acted alone, but there is an ongoing manhunt across Amager (the island on which this took place) and Zealand (the greater region) to apprehend any potential collaborators. The police force and crisis response force (kriseberedskab - I'm unsure what's the best translation for this group) are on high alert across the entire country. This is only a precautionary measure until it can be confirmed for certain that the gunman was acting alone.

The concert, as well as a Tour de France celebration that was also scheduled for today, were cancelled following these events. All people who were present at the scene will be offered free crisis therapy/counseling. Crisis psychologists are present at Amagerhallen, about 2 kilometers (less than a mile) from the mall.

People are strongly discouraged from sharing videos of the shooting, the suspect, or any potential suspects, as it may both hinder the investigation and worsen the trauma victims are going through, should the see the videos on their timelines. The Danish Police Intelligence Service has the situation under control and their investigation is already ongoing. You are strongly discouraged from playing internet investigator.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A 23-year-old man in Denmark who opened fire at a mall last year and killed three people believing the victims were zombies was sentenced Wednesday to detention in a secure medical facility.

The Copenhagen District Court convicted the man, who was not identified during the trial because of court rules, of murder and attempted murder in the July 3, 2022 rampage at the huge Field’s shopping center on the outskirts of Copenhagen.

Three people died — two 17-year-olds and a 47-year-old Russian man — and a total of 23 people were injured, including those who were hurt in the commotion that followed.

Prosecutor Søren Harbo welcomed the verdict and said that ”one must not forget that it was a day that affected many people, several of whom are unfortunately still struggling with physical and psychological consequences.”

The court found that the man had planned the attack, noting that he had taken a reconnaissance trip to the mall before the rampage. It also ruled that he was insane, and sentenced him Wednesday to a secure medical facility with no maximum time set.

The man had admitted to police that he shot and killed people, but said that he believed at the time that they were zombies. During trial, it emerged that just ahead of the rampage, the man had tried to contact a counseling help line to talk about his delusions but the hours of the help line had been changed due to summer vacation. He never reached anyone.

The man used a rifle, a nine-millimeter pistol and ammunition that he had stolen from his father’s arms cabinet. His father had the weapons legally.

On the last day of the trial on June 30, he said that “after I started getting strong antipsychotic medication, I can no longer see myself in what I have done.” In court, he apologized to the relatives and survivors and “to those who did not survive.”

The ruling was not immediately appealed by either side.

The shooting prompted the cancellation of a nearby concert that Sunday evening by singer Harry Styles. A few days after the attack, thousands gathered outside the mall to pay tribute to the victims, including Crown Prince Frederik and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen who described it as “cruel, unjust and senseless.”
