Two more arrested in Copenhagen apartment shooting case

Two men, aged 32 and 34, are the latest individuals to be taken into custody in connection with a shooting incident where 11 shots were fired at an apartment in Bispeparken, Copenhagen, on June 8.

The two men appeared in court for a preliminary hearing, where the prosecution detailed their alleged involvement. According to the charges, the men aided a minor Swedish national between June 7 and June 8. This assistance allegedly included providing the minor with money and a SIM card to communicate with co-conspirators and to access the Bispeparken area.

The prosecution claims that within this area, the minor was handed an AK-47 assault rifle, which was then passed to a 17-year-old boy. This 17-year-old is accused of firing the shots at the apartment. The bullets penetrated both the entrance door and the door to the apartment's toilet.

Fortunately, the intended target, who was reportedly in the apartment's living room at the time, was not injured. The 17-year-old suspect has admitted to firing the shots during his own preliminary hearing but denies the charge of attempted murder.

The two men recently detained deny complicity in aggravated weapon possession. However, the judge found sufficient grounds to order their pre-trial detention for an initial period of 18 days.
