The terrorist threat against Denmark is currently assessed to be 'serious'
Danish police have said the cannot rule of that the shooting at a shopping centre in Copenhagen was an "act of terrorism." Several people were killed when a gunman opened fire on Sunday.
There was no initial indication that other shooters had been present, police said, and Thomassen declined to comment on possible motives or whether the shooter was known to police. The capital's main hospital, Rigshospitalet, had received a "small group of patients" for treatment, a spokesperson said, and had called in extra doctors and nurses.
"People first thought it was a thief ... Then I suddenly hear shots and threw myself behind the counter inside the store," an eyewitness, Rikke Levandovski, told broadcaster TV2. "He is just shooting into the crowd, not up in ceiling or into the floor.""My friend and I... suddenly we hear shots. I hear about ten shots and then run as fast as we can into a toilet.
The attack follows a deadly shooting in neighbouring Norway last week, in which two people were killed by a lone shooter in the capital Oslo.
