Danish police have now formally identified the man who was killed in a shootout with them on Sunday morning, who they believe was responsible for both the cafe shooting and the synagogue shooting. Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein was 22 years old, who was known to Danish authorities as a gang member with a criminal history.

Born in Denmark to migrant parents, Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein descended into a life of crime in his teenage years, joining notorious gang The Brothas and roaming the streets with a knife or a gun.
By the time he was killed by armed officers outside a train station in the Danish capital yesterday, the 22-year-old had an extensive criminal record for offences including assault and possession of dangerous weapons.
In November 2013, El-Hussein was caught on CCTV pulling a knife out on a train in Copenhagen. Moments later he walked down the aisle between the seats and select his victim at random.
He knifed a 19-year-old man in the thigh and buttock before strolling off the train. He was jailed for the attack and was released from prison only two weeks ago, after serving his sentence for aggravated assault.
