Police believe gunman acted alone

Three people, two Danish 17 year-olds & a 47 year-old Russian citizen, have been killed after a shooting at a shopping centre in Copenhagen.

Four other people, two Swedish nationals & two Danes, remain in a critical condition.

Police believe the gunman acted alone, and opened fire at random.

A 22 year-old Danish man - known to mental health services - has been arrested.

The shooting is not being treated as terror-related.

It's the worst gun attack in Denmark since 2015.

Denmark's Prime Minister has called the attack "heartbreaking" and "pointless".

Claus Jessen, Editor in Chief at Newsbrek.dk has been giving updates on the situation:

The shopping centre, Field's, is the biggest in Copenhagen - just 9 minutes from the city via metro.

Hans Christian Stoltz was in the area, taking his daughters to a Harry Styles concert:

Singer, Styles, was due to perform at the Royal Arena last night as part of his 'Love On Tour' shows.

He later tweeted he was "devastated for the victims".
