A 43 year old plain clothes policeman was shot in the belly and in his arm, a white rapper named Niarn was slightly injured by a grazing shot, and a civilian whose identity was not disclosed was also hit by a bullet in the violence plagued borough of Noerrebro in Copenhagen last night around 22:30.
The incident happened outside Jaegersborggade 114. According to officer Mads Firlings from the Copenhagen police none of the victims was in a life threatening condition.
According to Ritzau 10 - 12 shots were fired, after which a car drove away with squeeling tires. The rappers injuries appear to be cause by a stray bullet. The crime scene happens to be a neighborhood where several members of Hells Angels support group AK81 live, so the fact that the shooting occurred there could indicate that an immigrant gang has been at work.
It is not yet clear for sure if this episode is realated to the ongoing conflict between gangs of aliens and predominently white groups such as Hells Angels and their support group AK81. The Hells Angels recently extended their presence to another area in Denmark, in Jutland near Fredericia, the bikers' spokesman Jorn Jonke Nielsen will take up residence there.
Shots were fired in Tingbjerg in the north west of Copenhagen as well. This incident occurred about 15 minutes before the shooting of the police offficer in Noerrebro.
This is the second time this week that there have been shots fired aimed at police.
Police have begun checking cars on the bridges connecting Denmark's islands and the bridge to Sweden. A massive man hunt is to be expected.
Update:
This morning it was announced that up to 23 shots may have been fired. Several bicycles in the area had parts penetrated by bullets.
