At an event called "Art, blasphemy and the freedom of expression", which was organized by Vilks at the Krudttønden café in Copenhagen, Denmark on 14 February 2015, semi automatic gunfire left film director Finn Nørgaard dead and three police officers wounded. At least 30 bullet holes were visible in the window of the café. Participants at the event included speaker Niels Ivar Larsen and organizer Helle Merete Brix, the latter describing the attack as targeted at Vilks. The suspect, acting alone, fled the scene and attacked a synagogue, killing a man. He was then identified by surveillance cameras and killed in gunfire with police the following day. Police believe the attack in Copenhagen may have been inspired by the "Charlie Hebdo" shooting.
