One person was shot in the head and two police were wounded in an attack on a synagogue in central Copenhagen, Danish police said, adding that it was too early to say whether the incident was connected to an earlier one at an arts cafe.

Danish television station TV2 said a large metro and train station nearby, Norreport, was being evacuated.

The news followed a shooting attack earlier Saturday on a cafe which hosted a debate on freedom of speech and was attended by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has been threatened with death for his cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. One man died in that attack, and police said a suspect was still at large.

New shooting in Copenhagen: 3 wounded, including 2 police

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Police say three people have been wounded, including two police officers, in a shooting in downtown Copenhagen.

Police said it wasn't immediately clear whether the incident was linked to an earlier shooting at a cultural center that killed one person and wounded two police officers.

In the latest shooting, Copenhagen police say one person was shot in the head while the two officers were shot in the arms and legs.

The suspect fled on foot.

1. I have no doubt it is connected.

[Rhinodawg]

18. Sam Harris was right...

It's the mother load of bad ideas.

[amandabeech]

2. CNN reports that everyone is being cleared off the streets in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen is a wonderful city. This is just so horrible!

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. Murders at a Free Speech ralley and now murders at a Synagogue.

It is quite possible that the same murderous type of bigot that attacked Charley Hebdo is at work here.

[amandabeech]

4. Yes, it is possible.

Of course, we don't know for sure.

If this beginning of a trend, how would you deal with it?

[SnakeEyes]

14. Better dialog

Find out what their true grievances are and how best we can address those for them, stop our military aggression and political meddling in the Middle East, work to end poverty as well.

[samsingh]

21. sure - give up free speech, get Israel to move, eliminate or subjugate all other religions

and ignore the cries of help from the victims.

[Yo_Mama]

5. Or some nut like Breivik. Definitly someone who's into violence.

It seems impossible for these events not to be connected. Denmark is not a violent place, generally.

9. Denmark was also the country where

Theo Van Gogh's throat was cut for making a movie that fanatical muslims didn't like.

[dhol82]

11. That was in

Amsterdam.

Different country. Holland.

[christx30]

12. Oh, you're right. My bad.

Typing in a few seconds while I'm working.

[samsingh]

22. seriously - there have been so many, who can keep count anymore.

[Agnosticsherbet]

10. I'd bet the people who did it are not your traditional Danes.

In WWII The Danes performed one of the largest actions of collective resistance to aggression when they rescued the Danish Jews living there. Whether it is a discussion on Free Speech or in a Synagogue, this is not the people of Denmark.

We will have to see who claims responsibility for the full answer.

6. Second shooting in one day

[applegrove]

7. Vibes to Denmark.

[Lobo27]

8. I hope this doesn't lead to any form of retaliation.

Btw, Yahoo is saying three have been wounded.

[7962]

13. The apologists should be along shortly to tell us not to jump to conclusions

After all, it could just be a normal shooting like those that happen all the time in Denmark. Wait, that doesnt happen often does it?

[LeftishBrit]

15. The gunman is now dead - they think it was the same person in both shootings

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

20. I thought the first shooting was done by multiple shooters?

Or was that disproven?

[LeftishBrit]

16. Best thoughts to the victims and their families; to all Danish Jews; and to all citizens of Denmark

[Rhinodawg]

17. What a shock ? ANOTHER. Attack on jews ?

It's so rare this has happened again.

Of course it pure coindence,

[Rhinodawg]

19. Let's add them up.

France
Sweden
Denmark
Holland
UK
Spain
Italy
Norway
Germany


Leads to one idea.

GTF OUT OF THERE ..
