Shooting at Copenhagen blasphemy seminar (3 Police shot, gunmen on the loose)
BBC ^ | February 14th, 2015 | BBC

Posted on 02/14/2015 8:35:11 AM PST by Eurotwit

Danish police have said three officers were shot and wounded at blasphemy debate in Copenhagen where the French ambassador was speaking.

Two gunmen are said to be still at large.

Reports say up to 40 shots were fired outside the venue in the Danish capital.

Controversial Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who has drawn caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, was also present at the debate.

Shortly after the attack, a message appeared on the Twitter feed of French ambassador Francois Zimeray saying he was unharmed.

Lars Vilks stoked controversy in 2007 by drawing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad dressed as a dog.

Actually, dogs and pigs rank closely together on their list of unclean animals. One more reason they are unsuitable as neighbors. Harm one of my dogs and there’s an emergency ward or morgue in your immediate future.
