One person was killed and two policemen injured in a shooting attack near Copenhagen's main synagogue, police said in a statement early Sunday.
This comes after another incident Saturday, in which a gunman stormed a building in the city and opened fire at a meeting on "Art, Blasphemy and Freedom of Expression" being held there. The meeting was being attended by cartoonist Lars Vilks, who had courted controversy for his portrayals of the Prophet Mohammed.
However, police said that it was still not clear whether the latest shooting was connected to the earlier attack.
According to the police, the attacker fled on foot from the site, which is not far from one of the busiest metro stations in the city.
