Copenhagen: A man was killed by police Sunday in Denmark's capital city of Copenhagen, following two deaths in gun assaults at a cafe where a cartoonist was speaking and at a synagogue.

Police are investigating whether the man was behind the shootings hours earlier at the cafe and near the synagogue.
According to a police statement, the shootings occurred near the Norrebro station, The Guardian reported.
The man arrived at station and opened fire at police. He was shot dead.
The first attack took place Saturday where a person was killed and three police officers were injured when gunmen opened fire at a meeting on blasphemy at a cultural centre, where French Ambassador to Denmark Francois Zimeray and Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who had courted controversy for his portrayals of the Prophet Mohammed, were present.
The second attack occurred early Sunday near Copenhagen's main synagogue, where one person was killed by gunshot wounds to his head and two policemen were injured.
Police said that it was still too early to say whether both the attacks were related to each other.
