Copenhagen shooting: Man charged over Sunday's shopping centre attack that killed three

euronews.com:

Danish police say they have not ruled out an act of terrorism for Sunday afternoon's mass shooting at a Copenhagen shopping centre that left three people dead and several others injured. However, they are working on the hypothesis that the shooter acted alone.

They confirmed that they were investigating videos posted online purporting to show the suspect with guns pointed at his temple, raising questions over his psychiatric condition.

A 22-year-old man arrested near the scene has been charged over the attack and is due to be questioned by a judge on Monday. Police have described him as a "native Dane". Copenhagen police chief inspector Søren Thomassen said he was known to the police "only marginally". 

The young man, armed with a large rifle according to witnesses, was arrested without violence shortly after the arrival of the police on the outskirts of the Fields shopping centre, located between the city centre and the Danish capital's international airport.

"There are three dead and several injured, three of them in critical condition," Thomassen told a news conference.

The three killed were a man in his forties and two young people whose ages were not specified. Thomassen dismissed reports that the perpetrator may have targeted specific people.

"We do not have anything to support this, and we are also aware that on social media there is also an abundance of talk whether there should be a racist motive for any of this or some other form of motive. We simply cannot say that we have anything to support this here and now," he said.

A large police presence was deployed to the scene of the shooting and in several places around Copenhagen, in sharp contrast to the celebratory scenes two days earlier when the Tour de France passed
