Police hypothesis: related to the gang environment
A 21-year-old Swedish-speaking man and an 18-year-old Danish man were charged and jailed for murder on Thursday.
The murder took place on Friday in a hairdressing salon. The victim is a Bulgarian citizen. Two were wounded in the attack, including a 15-year-old who goes to a nearby school.
Police have not yet said whether the killings and shootings were linked.
But they are working on the premise that the incidents are related to the gang environment in Copenhagen, according to Dr.
Politiken writes that the man killed in Norbro on Thursday is known to police in a “gang context”.
So-called visitation areas have now been introduced in many areas of Copenhagen. Among them are Herlev, Rodover, Norrebro and Nordfest. This means that the police are allowed to visit people without specific suspicion.

– The reason for the introduction of visiting areas is a number of violent incidents in Greater Copenhagen, which are considered to be linked to the gang environment, and where firearms were used in several cases, The police writes in a letter.
Not so long ago, the visiting areas in the counties of Brondby, Gladsax and Herleaf were closed.
They were introduced on October 17 due to the violent conflict between the groups in the gang environment in Copenhagen, wrote Police in a press release on December 1.
