Danish officer shot outside police station near Copenhagen
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A gunman shot a Danish policeman in the head Tuesday outside a police station in suburban Copenhagen, briefly prompting security outside police stations to be stepped up across the country, authorities said.
The 26-year-old man, who is believed to have acted alone, was arrested after the 8:20 a.m. shooting outside the Albertslund police station, west of Copenhagen, said Kim Christiansen, head of the suburban police district.
The suspect, who was not identified in line with Danish practice, ran away on foot and was arrested several kilometers (miles) away, said Mogens Lauridtsen, another senior officer.
