A man who was killed outside a Copenhagen synagogue early Sunday in one of three lethal shootings in the Danish capital was Jewish, a Jewish community group said on Sunday.
Michael Gelvan, chairman of the Nordic Jewish Security Council, told AFP that a Jewish confirmation ceremony had been underway inside the synagogue and that the "young man" had been responsible for "access control" when he was shot.
