Injuries in second Copenhagen shooting





Several people have been injured after shots were fired near a synagogue in Copenhagen, Danish police say.

One person was reportedly hit in the head, and two police officers had arm and leg injuries. The attacker is believed to have fled.

It is not clear whether the shooting is connected to an earlier attack on a cafe in the city.
There, a gunman killed one person and injured three at a free speech debate attended by a Swedish cartoonist.

Cartoonist Lars Vilks, who has faced death threats over his caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, was unhurt.
Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt described that attack as a "politically motivated" act of terrorism.
