Copenhagen's West Zealand Police responded to reports of shots fired on Lithuania Allé in Høje-Taastrup early Thursday morning. Upon their arrival at the scene, authorities arrested a person in possession of a firearm. Shortly after, an update confirmed that a total of two men had been taken into custody. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from the incident, alleviating immediate public safety concerns.

The police received the call at 7:06 AM and shortly thereafter, Duty Officer Peter Grønbæk shared that the investigation was ongoing, with significant police resources deployed to determine the circumstances surrounding the reported gunfire. It was mentioned that the shots might have been fired with blank ammunition, leading to further speculation on the seriousness of the situation. They aim to clarify what occurred as details remain sparse.

Images from the scene indicate that one of the detained individuals was put in a DNA suit, which is a protective garment used to preserve potential forensic evidence. However, police have not disclosed further information regarding the backgrounds of the arrested individuals nor confirmed whether they will be presented before a judge for custody proceedings. This incident raises questions about safety in the area and the potential implications if the weapon was indeed loaded or if it was simply a case of reckless behavior with a firearm.
