acted alone and apparently selected his victims at random, Danish police said Monday, all but ruling out that the attack was related to terrorism.
Police have not identified a motive for Sunday's attack inside one of Scandinavia's biggest shopping centers. The suspect, carrying a rifle and knife, was quickly arrested, and Copenhagen chief police inspector Søren Thomassen said the man also had access to another gun. He said the firearms were obtained illegally but gave no further details.
Gun violence is relatively rare in Denmark. The last shooting on this scale was in February 2015, when a 22-year-old man was killed in a shootout with police after an attack in the capital that left two people dead and five police officers wounded. While authorities have said there is no indication that anyone helped the man, Copenhagen police inspector Dannie Rise said the investigation would be complicated.Earlier, Thomassen said police had discovered nothing so far"that can substantiate that this is an act of terrorism." He has identified the man as an"ethnic Dane," a phrase typically used to mean someone is white.
The one clear lesson from this is that bloated bureaucracies lead to failure in catching and preventing these people from harming others. It should give pause to Democrats in America who think more background checks and higher legal ages to purchase a weapon are the solutions
To 'select' something 'at random' sounds funny to me.
God awful!
Don’t you just hate it when other countries steal our culture?
How is randomly shooting people NOT terrorism? It's should be the definition.

3 dead, 3 critically wounded in shooting at Copenhagen mall, Danish police sayThree people are dead and three others are critically wounded after a shooting Sunday at a shopping center in Copenhagen, police said. A 22-year-old Danish man whose identity was not released was in custody after he was found with a rifle and ammunition. Was the suspect a refugee? That would be considered a good day in America 🙄 You have not tried to find out the man's identity. Guns are banned there and yet still they have gun crime. Why was the man yelling one phrase over and over? Was he insane?
