The victim of a fatal shooting in Copenhagen has been named as Finn Nørgaard, 55, a Danish filmmaker, according to Danish media.

Nørgaard was shot at a free-speech event in a café Saturday night in what is suspected to have been an Islamist attack. A second shooting a short while later targeted a synagogue in the Danish capital, where guard Dan Uzan, 37, a longtime security guard for the Danish Jewish community, was killed.

“Finn was an original, an incredibly warmhearted and very spiritual type. Tall and handsome. It is hard for me to say more about it now,” a friend tells Ekstra Bladet, according to the Danish English-language news site TheLocal.
