Gunman freed from jail fortnight ago

The slain gunman behind two deadly shooting attacks in Copenhagen was released from jail just two weeks ago and might have become radicalized there last summer, a source close to the Danish terror investigation said.

Two Danish sources close to the investigation confirmed that the slain gunman was named Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein.

The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because Copenhagen police have not named the gunman, who they said was a 22-year-old Dane.
