Danes mourned the two victims of the country's first fatal terror attacks in 30 years, while some also put flowers at the spot where police killed the gunman.
The suspects arraigned today were accused of helping the gunman evade authorities and get rid of a weapon during the manhunt that ended early yesterday when the attacker was killed in a shootout with a SWAT team, said Michael Juul Eriksen, the defense attorney for one of the two suspects.
Rohde was speaking to reporters after a four-hour custody hearing held behind closed doors for the men, who were not named.
Two people were killed in the weekend attacks, including a Danish filmmaker attending a free speech event and a Jewish security guard shot in the head outside a synagogue in Copenhagen. Five police officers were wounded in the attacks.
Police said today they are in good condition and are expected to be released from hospital this week.
Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt told reporters today that the gunman's choice of targets suggests the attacks were acts of terrorism.
"We have no indication at this stage that he was part of a cell," she said. "But we will of course in the coming time evaluate our fight against radicalization. We are already doing a lot."
Police spokesman Joergen Skov said the gunman visited an Internet cafe late Saturday, about six-and-a-half hours after the first attack. Police raided the facility on Sunday and detained four people, including the two men arraigned today, Skov said. The other two were released.
Investigators released new images of the suspect and asked witnesses who had seen him enter or leave the Internet cafe to contact police.
