The Danish Police rule out that the attack on a shopping center in Copenhagen was "an act of terrorism"

MADRID, 4 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Danish police said on Monday that Sunday's attack at a shopping mall in the capital Copenhagen was not an act of terrorism, before adding that the suspect had a psychiatric record. The event resulted in at least three deaths and four injuries.

"There is nothing to suggest that this is an act of terrorism," said Copenhagen Police Chief Inspector Soren Thomassen. "Our assessment is that these are randomly chosen victims," ​​he indicated, while stressing that the suspect would have prepared the attack, without the motives being known at the moment.

Likewise, Thomassen has highlighted that during the last hours the Police have carried out several operations related to the incident, which took place in the Fields shopping center. "We have worked all night. We have made records and analyzed documents," said the Copenhagen Police chief, who pointed out that the suspect would have acted alone.

"From the looks of it, he acted alone," he said. Thomassen has also detailed that the three deceased are two 17-year-old Danish citizens and a 47-year-old man of Russian nationality and resident in Denmark. Among the four injured there are two Danes and two Swedes, including a 16-year-old teenager, according to the Danish newspaper 'Jyllands Posten'.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the event a "brutal attack" and called on the population to stand together and offer support, according to the daily 'Berlingske'. "It is incomprehensible, heartbreaking, meaningless. Our beautiful and safe capital has changed in a fraction of a second," said Frederiksen, who thanked the security forces, medical personnel and all those who have provided help.
