Authorities in Denmark say a police officer and two other people were wounded in a shooting Friday, with the suspected perpetrator among those hit.
The incident took place in Nørresundby, a community in the North Jutland region of northern Denmark. A spokesperson for North Jutland police, Søren Pejtersen, described the injuries as serious in a statement released on Facebook.
According to Danish broadcaster DR, officers were initially dispatched to an industrial area of Nørresundby after a fire was reported at 1:39 p.m. local time (11:39 a.m. GMT). When they arrived, they were met with gunfire and shot back at the suspect.
Investigators have not yet determined whether the wounded officer was struck by the suspect or by friendly fire. The identity of the third injured person and the circumstances of their shooting also remained unclear in the immediate aftermath.
Police confirmed the active shooting situation had ended by 3 p.m. local time (1 p.m. GMT), though the investigation was expected to continue, DR reported.
Images and video from the scene showed a large column of black smoke rising from the area. Additional details were not immediately available.
