Denmark in shock as gunman kills three at Copenhagen shopping mall
13 Sept 17:54Key points summarised by AI
A shooting at Copenhagen's Field's shopping mall tragically killed three people and wounded several others, including three critically.
Danish police swiftly arrested a 22-year-old Danish man, who was found with a rifle and ammunition, charging him with manslaughter.
The attack, which shocked Denmark following a week of national celebration for the Tour de France, prompted a large investigation to determine if the shooter acted alone and to uncover any motive.
The incident led to the cancellation of major events, including a Harry Styles concert, and marks a significant security event for Denmark since its last militant attack in 2015.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
