A 22-year-old male has been charged with the murder of three people and wounding of approximately two others at the popular Field's shopping mall in Copenhagen on July 3, 2022.

Danish authorities say the suspect opened fire with a rifle and killed a 17-year-old boy, a 17-year-old girl, and an adult male. It has been reported the suspect was known to have "mental health issues."
