Police in Denmark have arrested two people wanted in connection to Saturday's shooting spree in Copenhagen that left two people dead and five officers wounded. The two men are accused of helping hide the gunman and dispose of a weapon.

The gunman attacked two sites Saturday: first, a free speech debate put on by controversial Swedish artist Lars Vilks, perhaps most famous for his depiction of the prophet Muhammad as a dog; documentary filmmaker Finn Norgaard, 55, was killed. Hours later, police confirm the same gunman opened fire at a Synagogue where people were gathered for a girl's bat mitzvah, where Dan Uzan, 37, was killed.

The two men were arrested by police Sunday during raids on Copenhagen's Norrebro neighborhood, where officers eventually shot and killed the gunman.

Local media have identified the shooter as Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, although police have yet to formally name the suspect. According to the BBC, El-Hussein had been released from prison two weeks earlier after serving a two-year prison sentence for stabbing a passenger on a commuter train.

All police have said about the shooter so far is that he was 22-year-old Denmark native, and was known to local authorities, the New York Times reports, for "gang-related activity and several criminal offenses linked to weapons violations and violence."
