COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A 23-year-old man in Denmark who opened fire at a mall last year and killed three people believing the victims were zombies has been sentenced to detention in a secure medical facility. The Copenhagen District Court convicted the man, who was not identified during the trial, of murder and attempted murder in the July 3, 2022 rampage at the huge Field’s shopping center on the outskirts of Copenhagen.
