COPENHAGEN, Denmark—A 23-year-old man in Denmark who opened fire at a mall last year and killed three people believing the victims were zombies was sentenced Wednesday to detention in a secure medical facility.
The Copenhagen District Court convicted the man, who was not identified during the trial because of court rules, of murder and attempted murder in the July 3, 2022 rampage at the huge Field’s shopping center on the outskirts of Copenhagen.
Three people died—two 17-year-olds and a 47-year-old Russian man—and a total of 23 people were injured, including those who were hurt in the commotion that followed.
Prosecutor Søren Harbo welcomed the verdict and said that ”one must not forget that it was a day that affected many people, several of whom are unfortunately still struggling with physical and psychological consequences.”…
