Every Dane knows of Norrebro, the Copenhagen neighborhood where police shot dead the gunman suspected of carrying out shocking attacks on a synagogue and a cultural center hosting a free speech event.
Once blighted by protests as well as gang warfare, the area is now home to a wide array of cultures and ethnicities, in sharp contrast to more homogenous regions of Copenhagen, and has suffered from a bad, some residents would say exaggerated, reputation.
The suspect, named by media on Sunday as Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, was shot right by the Norrebro train station on the corner of a busy intersection marked by brightly lit shawarma grilled meat cafes, currency exchanges and other shops.
