One dead after weekend shootings in Copenhagen - Police Fatalistic
2006-11-06
One man is dead, three are wounded and two businesses have had their windows shot out after a wave of apparently unrelated shootings early Sunday morning. The only shooting to claim a victim occurred at around 7 am, when two men entered Café Louise in the Nørrebro district and opened fire, killing one man and wounding three others.

Earlier, at 4:20 a.m., unknown assailants fired shots from a vehicle which shattered a toy store window on Vestergade in the Latin Quarter, and around 40 minutes later the same happened to a café on Mikkel Brygges Gade, a side road leading into the main pedestrian street Strøget. No one was injured in those shootings.

Ove Dahl, superintendent of Copenhagen police's homicide division, denied that the city has become more dangerous of late. 'It's no different than it's always been. If I looked back into the statistics, I shouldn't see that it's any worse today than it was before,' Dahl said.

Police believe the café shooting at Nørrebro was a hit aimed at one of the injured, a 34-year-old Moroccan man. He is listed in serious condition after being shot four times. The man killed, an innocent bystander, was thought to be a 24-year-old Iraqi, but later reports indicated his ID may have been false and that he is actually Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship.
Rather old to be 'youts', aren't they?
The gunmen were recorded by the café's security cameras, and both are believed to be of immigrant background.

Sunday's shootings were the latest in a wave of gun violence in Copenhagen over the past year, most involving immigrant men. Dahl said there was no particular trend or links in the violence.
Other than it involving 'immigrant' men.
'Every time there's a murder, there are different motives. It can be jealousy, a grude, drugs or other criminal activity, but I can't say there's a trend. Next year there might not be a single shooting.'
And the tooth fairy might start making deliveries again, too. You never can tell .....

#3  a café on Mikkel Brygges Gade, a side road leading into the main pedestrian street Strøget.

Sweet merciful crap! Strøget is the very innermost heart of Copenhagen. It represents some of the oldest shops all facing onto an ancient street that has been converted into a beautiful pedestrian mall (no cars allowed). The thought of gunfire near there is simply outrageous and these cops act like it is nothing.

This is willful blindness. Dahl should be fired.

#1  No crime here, only immigrants being shot in drive-bys. We call it freedom of speech.
