Police say the suspected attacker in the Copenhagen shootings is a 22-year-old male who was born and raised in Denmark, according to AFP.

He was known to police because of past activity related to gang violence and weapons possession, Reuters reports.

The suspect, whose name has not been released, was killed in a shootout with police early Sunday.
