A shul security guard was shot and killed in Copenhagen while a bas mitzvah was taking place inside. At least three policemen were injured by gunfire. The attack occurred shortly after midnight on motzei Shabbos Parshas Mishpatim. The Israel Foreign Ministry named the Jewish victim as Dan Uzan, 37, whose father is Israeli and mother is Danish. He was a volunteer guard at the shul.
Police believe the same person perpetrated both attack, referring to the earlier shooting in the Arts Café in which one person were killed and three policemen wounded. The earlier hosted in the Arts Café was called “Art Blasphemy & Freedom of Expression...---snip---"
According to local media reports, masked gunmen opened fire at the Arts Café Cultural Center shortly after 15:30 on Saturday afternoon. An estimated 30 shots were fired from automatic weapons immediately after Ambassador Zimeray completed his remarks.
The shooter is described as a male with an athletic build, 25-30, with an Arabic appearance.
