Forensic investigators are seen at the site of a shooting in Copenhagen February 14, 2015.

Copenhagen police shot and killed a man near a train station on Sunday, hours after two people were killed and five wounded in two separate shootings in the Danish capital, Agence France-Presse reported.

“The police have fired shots at Noerrebro Station. One person is hit. Condition unknown,” Copenhagen police wrote on Twitter.

A man died earlier on Sunday after he was shot in the head several times before the shooter fled the scene following a fire exchange with police, Reuters news agency reported.

“It started with police being down at the site. A person comes up and starts to shoot,” police spokesman Allan Teddy Wadsworth-Hansen said.

“The two police who were there were hit, one in the arm and one in the leg. They are both currently receiving treatment. Their lives are not in danger,” he added.

He declined to say if there was any link between the dead man and Copenhagen’s main synagogue, which is just meters away from where the incident took place.

Police said they were unable to confirm if Sunday’s incident was related to another deadly shooting on Saturday targeting a cultural center where a debate on Islam and free speech was being held. One civilian was killed and three policeman were wounded in the cultural center attack.

Parts of the Danish capital had been cordoned off but “it’s not a question of a general curfew. People are allowed to travel around Copenhagen, safely,” Wadsworth-Hansen said.

The United States condemned the first shooing as a “deplorable” attack in a White House statement released shortly after the incident.

“The United States condemns today’s deplorable shooting in Copenhagen,” the statement said, adding that Washington is ready to help if needed in the investigation.
