Several shots was fired at Krudttønden where a debate with cartoonist Lars Vilks was held. 30-40 rounds apparently and at least on police officer hit.

Well, danish gun control seems effective. The use of an old Krag riflie is far less damaging than an assault rifle.  :P

Also, the Small Country Syndrome has kicked in:

"CNN. BBC. Miami Herald. The Telegraph. The Guardian. Huffington Post. Reuters. Al Jazeera. MSNBC. ABC News. Just some of the outlets that has terror in Denmark as headline" writes a proud Danish newspaper.

Description from the police of one of the gunmen: "Arabic looking, but lighter than normal, with smooth black hair".

Children's Eurovision out trends the Danish hashtag for the shooting. Well done, Denmark, well done.

Not sure what your stance is from that post but I think it is a good thing if we don't sensationalize these events too much.

I applaud it, the newspapers are running mad speculating while the Danes go about their business watching kids have fun.

I'm conflicted. I can't decide which is more important - whipping the general public into an anti-muslim frenzy or recruiting the young into the homosexual lifestyle.  :hmm:

On this bbc news page there's a link to audio of the attack as it started, very dramatic.

To my uneducated hear it sounds close and more deliberate shooting, not just some guy with an ak47 praying and spraying

You know, that shaming thread gave me some ideas...
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

More shootings, this time at a synagogue in the central part of town. Two policemen hit and one person is shot in the head.

Fuck.

Everything will be fine as long as you go about your normal daily routine.

The normal routine on a saturday involves several thousands extremely drunk people in the central part of town! But I've heard that you have a better chance of surviving a gunshot if drunk, so no problem.

Maybe the presence of the armed police at the cartoon debate stopped a massacre.

I wonder if some of the firing recorded was them and/or the Swedish cartoonists bodyguard returning fire?
