Assailant’s gun jammed after firing first shot - police now searching for two men wearing ski masks seen climbing into Copenhagen Zoo
The renowned anti-Islam journalist and scholar Lars Hedegaard reportedly survived an assassination attempt outside his home on Pelargonieviej in Frederiksberg this morning.
According to Ritzau, the assailant fled when his gun jammed after firing the first shot at around 11:20.
“A man shot at the victim but he missed and the bullet went over his head,” police commissioner Lars-Christian Borg told Ritzau. “When he tried to fire again, the pistol clicked and the assailant ran away.”
While Borg would not confirm the identity of the assassin’s target, a neighbour of Hedegaard’s told Politiken newspaper that he was the target.
“He told me that a man had approached him with a package and when he went to take it the man fired at him,” the neighbour told Politiken.
After first sealing off Hedegaard’s street, police have now also cordoned off Copenhagen Zoo after two men wearing ski masks were seen jumping over the wall to the zoo into the hippopotamus enclosure.
Berlingske newspaper reports that witnesses reported hearing what sounded like a gunshot at around 13:50.
Police say the man that fired the shot was wearing a red coat, is around 30 years of age and has dark skin and thick, dark hair.
Hedegaard was charged with racism after he made a series of critical statements about Islam and Muslims that included comparing Islam to Nazism and the claim that Muslims rape their own children. He was eventually cleared by the High Court in 2011.
Witnesses to the shooting incident are asked to call 114.

dont nobody tell those litterbox raisins what a cleaning kit is for !!!!

Ping
Right on schedule.
Muslim population of Copenhagen ~~ 12.6 %
From ‘Jihad by the Numbers”:
“When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris - car burning). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam, Denmark - Mohammed cartoons, murder of Theo van Gogh).”
Too bad the hippos didn’t get them.
I suppose it would be too much to hope that on the other side of the fence was the tiger habitat or the crocodile pond.
Hippos are extemely dangerous. They are huge, and kill quickly.
Koranimals.
In this case who wants a quick kill?
He said that the hippo is responsible for more wild animal deaths than any other animal in Africa.
Part of the reason is of course that people go down to the river to draw water and encounter the hippos on a daily basis.
Of course it's also true that crocs live in the water where people hang out. But hippos have very bad eyesight and short tempers and will attack for no reason (unlike crocs who are just looking for a meal). And if they decide to go for you, you are just dead because they are huge, and very fast in the water and out of it. They tear you in pieces and then stomp on the bits.
Wonder if these are Koran Thumpers from the other side of the Oresund in Malmo?. Copenhagen and Denmark aren’t as Muslim as their counterparts across the Oresund
They need stricter gun control in Denmark.
Who knows, maybe they need stricter hippo controls. :-)
Wonder if the police has checked the hippo enclosure yet? A small handgun against a couple of irate hippos at close quarters......bye, bye.
Wanna bet it’s that damn Amish Mafia???
There will be plenty in Europe lining up to blame the victim.
