UPDATED: Shots have been fired at meeting in Copenhagen attended by controversial Swedish artist Lars Vilks, according to Danish media reports. The artist himself was unhurt, but several police officers were injured, according to the reports.
The artist, known for his depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, was attending a debate on the theme of ‘Art, blasphemy and freedom of speech’ at the Krudttønden cultural centre in the Østerbro area of the Danish capital.
Delegate Dennis Meyhoff Brink, a satire researcher, told Jyllands Posten that he heard 30 shots over a two minute period. Danish security police then ordered everyone to remain inside.
“[Security police] came running through the room brandishing guns, and they took Lars Vilks out a back door.”
According to Brink, the shots were fired just as the French Ambassador, François Zimeray, had finished speaking. Zimeray immediately took to Twitter to confirm that he was still alive:

Copenhagen police confirmed to the Berlingske newspaper that three officers were wounded in the shooting and that two suspected gunmen were at large.
The meeting was held under tight security, with delegates subject to searches as they entered the building. More soon |
