(ANSA) - ROME, JULY 04 - Three dead and several injured, including three serious, the toll from the shooting committed yesterday in a shopping center in Copenhagen, the Danish police announced.

The 22-year-old arrested after the incident is known to law enforcement "but only marginally," Chief Inspector Soren Thomassen said at a press conference.


   The young man, according to witnesses armed with a large rifle, was arrested without violence shortly after the police arrived near the large Fields shopping center, located between the city center and the airport of the Danish capital.

The motives of the suspect, described by police as a 22-year-old "ethnic Dane", remain unclear.

He is known to the police "but only marginally", said Thomassen: "He is not someone we particularly know."

The three victims are a man in his forties and two young people whose age was not specified.

"On social networks we see written that it would be a racist motive, but I cannot say that at the moment we have something that supports" this hypothesis, the head of the investigation specified.

Police have instead confirmed that they are investigating videos posted online that show the suspect pointing weapons to his head and that would put his psychiatric conditions into question.

Earlier, the investigators had refused to rule out an act of terrorism.


   The 22-year-old arrested for the shooting in Copenhagen with tremors and several injuries had mental health problems: the police reported them, specifying that the man was known to the services on the territory.

"The suspect is also known among the psychiatric services, other than that I do not wish to comment," Copenhagen police chief Soren Thomassen said in a press conference, adding that the victims were allegedly hit at random and that there is nothing to indicate that he was could be treated as an act of terrorism.
