Copenhagen police said early Sunday they had shot dead a man who opened fire on officers hours after two people were killed and five wounded in twin shootings in the Danish capital.
"The police are now investigating if the person could be behind the shootings at Krudttoenden and the synagogue in Krystalgade," police said in a statement.
The exchange of fire took place in the multicultural inner-city neighbourhood of Noerrebro where police had been keeping an address under observation earlier in the day.
After police called out to him "he opened fire against the police and was thereafter shot," the statement added.
No police officers were injured in the exchange of fire.
Hours later, a man was shot in the head and killed early Sunday near Copenhagen's main synagogue in the city centre.
Two policemen were wounded in the shooting at the synagogue, and three more officers hurt in the cultural centre attack.
