Shots were fired Saturday at a cafe in Copenhagen that was hosting a freedom of speech event organized by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has faced numerous threats for caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad in 2007.

Some 30 bullet holes ripped through the window of the Krudttoenden cafe and at least two people were taken away on stretchers, including a uniformed police officer, the TV2 channel said Saturday.

Helle Merete Brix, one of the organizers of the event, told The Associated Press that Vilks was present at the event but not injured. “I saw a masked man running past,” she said. “A couple of police officers were injured.” …

I met Vilks at the first SION conference held here in New York.

During his talk, he actually described-with accompanying visual aids-some of the previous attempts on his life by European jihadists.
