Copenhagen's Candlelit Vigil Hosts Concert

Vigils took place in towns and cities across Denmark on Monday, February 16, after attacks on a free speech event at a Copenhagen cafe on Saturday and a synagogue in the early hours of Sunday. The suspected gunman, who carried out the attacks, was later reportedly shot and killed by Danish police during a fire fight outside Copenhagen’s Norrebro Station. He killed two and injured five police officers during his shooting spree.
