A First Look At The Shooter Inside Copenhagen Mall, Shooter Arrested, Several Dead, Many More Injured

Danish police have arrested a 22-year-old ethnic Dane in connection with a deadly shooting at a Copenhagen shopping mall.

Police chief Soeren Thomassen said the motive was unclear, but that he could not rule out an "act of terrorism".

Mr Thomassen said several people were killed in Sunday's shooting, said it was too early to provide exact figures.

Eyewitnesses have spoken of panic among shoppers as gunfire rang out inside the Field's mall in the south of the city.

Emilie Jeppesen told Jyllands-Posten newspaper: "You didn't know what was happening. Suddenly there was just chaos everywhere."

Another witness, Mahdi Al-Wazni, told TV2 that the shooter had carried a "hunting rifle".

Speaking at a news conference on Sunday evening, Mr Thomassen said it was too early to say how many people had been harmed in the attack.

But he told reporters that there was no indication that other shooters were involved and urged shop owners to preserve any video surveillance footage they may have.

Field's is the largest shopping centre in Denmark, with over 140 shops and restaurants. The multi-storey mall is located on the outskirts of Copenhagen, just across from a subway line that connects to the city centre.

British singer Harry Styles is due to perform at a venue less than a mile from the scene later in the evening.
