^ Karl Shapiro's got it all figured out 
. Sometimes Karl's reMarks' satirical analysis is better than The Onion's.
Over in Denmark...........
The story has changed a bit since the initial reporting. It looks a lot like a copy cat attack of the one in Paris last month -- fortunately, with fewer casualties.
Free Speech / Satire Gathering Hit
There was apparently one gunman, instead of two, who attacked the Art, blasphemy and freedom of expression" conference held at at cultural center cafe in Copenhagen at about 4 pm yesterday. The intended target is believed to be 68-year-old satirist Lars Vilks from Sweden. The man who was instead killed was a 55-year-old event attendee and still has not been publicly identified. The three police officers who were shot are in good condition.
Jewish Community Hit
At about 1 a.m., a gunman shot a man in the head, killing him on the spot. Denmark's Chief Rabbi, Jair Melchior, identified the Jewish victim as Dan Uzan, 37, a longtime security guard for the 7,000-strong community. RIP. Mr. Uzan was guarding a building behind the synagogue during a bar mitzvah when he was shot. Two police officers who were there were slightly wounded and are in good condition.
Suspect Killed by Danish Police
About four hours after the guard was killed at the synagogue, the man who police believe is responsible for both attacks was confronted by police as he returned to an address that they were keeping under surveillance. Investigators described him as 25 to 30 years old with an athletic build and carrying a black automatic weapon. They released a blurred photograph of the suspect wearing dark clothes and a scarf covering part of his face (pic below).

Jens Madsen, head of the Danish intelligence agency PET, said investigators believe the gunman was inspired by Islamic radicalism. He was on PET's radar prior to the attacks. The name of the gunman has not been released publicly yet.
