A gunman who killed three people in a crowded shopping mall acted alone and apparently selected his victims at random, Danish police said Monday.
Police have not identified a motive for Sunday's attack inside one of Scandinavia's biggest shopping centers. A suspect carrying a rifle and knife was quickly arrested, and Copenhagen chief police inspector Sren Thomassen said the 22-year-old Danish man also had access to another gun.
The three killed were a 17-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, both Danes, and a 47-year-old Russian man, according to Thomassen. Four more people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds and were in critical but stable condition. In all 30 people were hurt, most in the panicked stampede after the shots rang out at the Field's shopping center, on the outskirts of the Danish capital.
Thomassen said police had no indication that anyone helped the gunman, and his motive remains unclear.
