CRI听力:Killed Gunman Had Violent Past: Danish Police 

Police in Denmark are providing more details about the suspect involved in this weekend's terror attacks in Copenhagen.

Authorities are describing the suspect as "a 22-year-old man, born in Denmark and known to be involved with gangs."

He was shot dead early Sunday after he opened fire on police officers, just hours after two people were killed and five wounded in a pair of shootings in the Danish capital.

One of the shootings took place at a free-speech forum which featured a controversial cartoonist who has published works involving the Prophet Muhammad.

The other took place outside a local Synagogue.

Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

"We stand here in front of the Jewish synagogue in Copenhagen. We are devastated today, a man has lost his life in a service of that synagogue, and we are devastated. Our thoughts go to his family. We are with them today, but our thoughts go to the whole of the Jewish community today. They belong in Denmark, they are a strong part of our community, and we will do everything we can to protect the Jewish community in our country."

Danish intelligence says the suspect was known to them, and says they're working on a theory the gunman may have been inspired by the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris last month.
