The 25-year-old man who shot three people in Christiania on Wednesday night has alleged ties to terrorist groups, police said late on Thursday.

“He apparently has ties to [militant Islamist group] Millatu Ibrahim and sympathies for IS,” police said in a statement, using one of the many names for the Islamic State terrorist group.

Saying the man was a Danish citizen who had come to the country from Bosnia when he was four years old, police said there was “currently no evidence that [his alleged terrorist sympathies] has influenced the shooting incidents.”

Local media named the man as Mesa Hodzic, but police did not confirm the identity.

During Wednesday’s shooting in Christiania, a self-governing commune in the capital with a long history of openly selling cannabis, another police officer and a civilian were shot in the leg.
