Watch: People flee gunfire inside shopping centre
Footage from inside the Copenhagen shopping centre shows people running in panic as gunshots are fired.
The chaotic scenes show people trying to flee the scene, and shoppers evacuating the Field's mall as emergency sirens ring out.
Eyewitness Maximilian von Renteln tells the BBC that he heard several shots just as he was about to enter the mall.
"At the time I didn't think that those shots were actual gunshots, because it's not something that you would imagine in a country like Denmark."
He said that the seriousness of the situation hit him shortly after when he saw people running out "screaming" and "crying".
