Police officer shot in Denmark

Xinhua, December 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

A police officer was shot by gunfire on Tuesday morning at a police station in the western suburbs of Copenhagen, local media reported.

The officer, supposedly a dog handler, was shot in the head at the police station around 8:20 a.m. (0720 GMT) in Albertslund, some 25 km west of the capital, according to Danish news agency Ritzau.

The condition of the officer is not immediately known, and a possible perpetrator has been arrested, Ritzau reported.

Police districts across Denmark have since stepped up security to guard police stations, Ritzau said, citing police sources. Endi
