An internet café in the Nørrebro district last night became the scene of the eighth shooting in as many days in the northwestern suburbs of the capital.
Just before midnight, two shots were fired against a internet café in Rantzausgade Street, a police spokesperson told public broadcaster DR.
At least five people were in the café at the time, but none were injured.
According to sources within immigration communities in the area, the shootings are part of a showdown between young immigrants in the Værebropark area in the town of Bagsværd, who are said to have links to Hells Angels, and young immigrants in the neighbouring areas of Tingbjerg and Høje Gladsaxe.
The Bagsværd group consists mainly of young people with Pakistani roots, while the other group is mixed.
Police have confirmed a connection between most of the recent shootings.
“Five-six of these shootings are related,” said Kim Kliver, head of the National Investigation Centre. “They’re based on some mistaken conceptions of honour and revenge.”
