Three people have been injured after shots were fired in the underground car park of Denmark's largest shopping centre, police have said. The attack took place earlier this morning at Fields - a busy shopping precinct on the outskirts of the Danish capital Copenhagen.
Local media reported that two people had been arrested by police though it was not immediately clear whether those responsible for the shots are being held. 'We have a massive presence [there]. It happened in the parking basement. One person is hit in the arm, the other is possibly hit in the back,' the police chief, Michael Andersen said.
Officials at Copenhagen police reached by telephone said they could not confirm any details. There was no official word on any motive, although witnesses claimed the shooting was gang related. Speaking to local news agency Rittzau, Andersen said the shooting was a result of 'two groups who clashed', adding that approximately eight people had been involved in the incident.
'It seem two groups got in a quarrel and it culminated in the parking basement in Field's where a still unknown number of shots were fired,' Police Communications Officer Sebastian Richelsen added.
