Man killed in Copenhagen synagogue shooting was Jewish, says faith group

Copenhagen: 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.
