COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Danish police say they have arrested a man suspected of shooting and wounding two Israelis at a shopping mall.
Police spokesman John Jacobsen says without naming the suspect that he is a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon of Palestinian parents.
A court on Thursday ordered the suspect held for up to four weeks while police investigate.
Police say the suspect has denied attempting to kill the Israelis but acknowledged carrying a gun Wednesday at the mall in the central Danish city of Odense.
Jacobsen says the two Israelis had been selling hair-care products when they were attacked. He says they were hospitalized in stable condition; one man was shot in the arm and one man in the leg.
