On 14 February, Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein attacked a cultural event at Krudttønden attended by Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks who had previously been threatened for drawing the prophet Mohammed. El-Hussein attempted to gain access to the venue without using the main entrance but ended up starting his attack outside as film director Finn Nørgaard attempted to stop him. El-Hussein then shot through the windows of the venue, injuring three police officers.
The day after, a bat mitzvah held at the Grand Synagogue was attacked by El-Hussein. He failed to enter the Synagogue, but killed a guard outside of the synagogue and injured two other police officers. El-Hussein then returned to his address near Nørrebro Station which was being watched by police officers as he visited the location between the two attacks. He was killed here.
