Nyheder TV2 (dk)

This is just breaking. At about 6 pm, local Danish time, shots broke out in a Copenhagen shopping area. As of this moment, all that has been reported is that several people have been wounded and one person is in custody. At least three people have been taken to the hospital and the building is still in the process of being secured. We are checking Scandinavian news sources for more details as they become available. We don't yet know if this is a terrorism incident.

Translation of headline:

Several dead in Fields Shopping Center in Copenhagen

Several people have died after the shooting in the Fields Shopping Center just outside Copenhagen. 

At least three people are being treated in hospital.

A 22-year-old Danish man has been arrested-police cannot rule out that this is an act of terror.

* Update: Various social media are posting what is reportedly the name of the suspect, a Dane, who is apparently off his rocker. His own social sites show him pointing guns to his own head. I will hold off on putting that name up.
