'We are still present, shots have been fired and several people have been hit. We work on site. People in the Fields must stay and await the police. All other persons must stay away from Fields,' police tweeted via Google translate.
The suspected gunman, who is in custody, is a 22-year-old Danish man who was detained near the Fields shopping mall on the southern outskirts of the capital, said police inspector Sren Thomassen, head of the Copenhagen police operations unit.
Images from the scene showed people running out of the mall, and Denmark's TV2 broadcaster posted a photo of a man being put on a stretcher. Witnesses said people were crying and hid in shops. Police said they were first alerted to the shooting at 5:36 p.m. . A huge presence of heavily-armed police officers arrived at the scene, with several fire department vehicles also parked outside the mall.
