COPENHAGEN, Feb 15: Two people have been killed and five injured in twin shootings in the Danish capital, with one attack targeting a cultural centre hosting a debate on Islam and free speech. A gunman sprayed bullets at the Krudttonden cultural centre Saturday as it hosted a seminar in which Lars Vilks -- the Swedish artist whose controversial Prophet Mohammed cartoon sparked worldwide protests in 2007 -- was among the speakers. Hours later, a man was shot in the head and killed near Copenhagen's main synagogue in the city centre. Two policemen were also wounded in the shooting. — Reuters
