Several people were shot dead and many were left injured after a gunman opened fire at a shopping mall.
The mass shooting took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, where a 22-year-old male armed with a “large rifle” started meticulously killing people at a Fields shopping center.
According to the reports, the shooting happened just hours before British singer Harry Styles was set to hold a concert at a venue located some 500 yards away from the scene of the murders.
Police inspector Soren Thomassen has since spoken out and revealed that the shooting remains under investigation and that terror cannot yet be excluded as the motive for the killings.
“We know that there are several dead and several injured. We do not have information that others are involved. This is what we know now,” the head of the operations unit insisted. “We investigate it as an act, where we can’t exclude, that it’s terror.”
In shocking pictures taken from the scene of the shooting, people could be seen running away in tears and hugging their beloved ones after the gunfire erupted.
Meanwhile, the police could be seen arresting the suspect and leading him away in handcuffs.
Following the tragedy, Copenhagen Mayor Sophie H Andersen spoke out and confirmed the news saying: “Terrible reports of shooting in Fields. We do not yet know for sure how many were injured or dead, but it is very serious.”
Speaking out was also Harry Styles who promised to pray for everyone involved as he expressed his “shock” over the mass shooting.
While the organizers initially planned to go forward with the concert at the nearby venue, the event was canceled after a backlash.
The shooting remains under investigation.
