Authorities in Copenhagen say the dead man believed to be responsible for yesterday's shootings was a 22-year-old born in Denmark. Unconfirmed reports from Danish media have named him as Omar Abdel Hamid el-Hussein.

According to the BBC, three police officers were shot and wounded today at a panel debate in Copenhagen organized by controversial Swedish artist Lars Vilks, famous for depicting the prophet Muhammad as a dog. After firing up to 40 shots, the two gunmen reportedly escaped.
