A man shot dead by police near a Copenhagen train station is believed to be behind two fatal attacks hours earlier in the city.
Danish officers said they had killed the man after he opened fire on them close to Norrebro Station.
They said CCTV indicated he was responsible for an attack at a cafe on Saturday afternoon and another deadly assault two miles away at the city's main synagogue.
Investigators said there was nothing to suggest at present that other gunmen were involved in the shootings that left two people dead and five police officers wounded.
Officials also said it was possible he was imitating last month's Paris shootings, where Islamist gunmen targeted the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine and a kosher supermarket.
The attack at the synagogue in Krystalgade just after midnight UK time saw one man killed after being shot in the head and two policemen also shot, one in the arm and the other in the leg.
Sky News cameraman Pete Milnes, who was in a hotel next to the synagogue, said: "There was a succession of about six or seven gunshots.
"Within a minute or so, armed police were on the scene, a helicopter was hovering overhead. I witnessed police apprehend an individual who was handcuffed and later released.
"There were 20 to 30 armed police officers with semi-automatic rifles shouting at locals to stay indoors and close windows."
The victim has been named as 37-year-old Jewish man Dan Uzan, who was guarding a building behind the synagogue.
A major manhunt had earlier been launched after one man was killed and three police officers injured when a gunman opened fire at a cafe where a meeting on free speech was taking place.
The seminar, which was targeted just before 3pm UK time on Saturday, was attended by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has been threatened with death for his cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. He was not harmed, but a 40-year-old man died.
