Swedes seriously injured

Three people were shot dead, a 47-year-old man, a 17-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy.

In addition, four people were seriously injured, two Danes and two Swedes.

The injured Swedes are a 16-year-old girl and a 50-year-old man, the Copenhagen police state at a press conference on Monday.

In addition, several people were slightly injured when they tried to get out of the mall.

The police are investigating the incident with large resources.

The 22-year-old Dane is already known to the police, but not for any major crimes.

He is also known from psychiatry, emphasizes police chief Søren Thomassen.

The shooting was planned

There is also nothing to indicate that the fatal shooting was an act of terrorism, according to the police.

- Our assessment is that these are random victims.

That it is not motivated by gender or something else, says Thomassen.

The motive is unknown, but according to the police, there must have been "some preparation" for the attack, writes DR.

During Monday's press conference, the police stated that the weapons that the man had access to were legal, but that the suspect did not have a permit for them.
