One person has been shot in the head and two policemen injured at a synagogue in Denmark, hours after a separate deadly attack two miles away sparked a manhunt.
The shooting in capital Copenhagen comes 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.
Police say it is too early to say if the attacks are linked.
They say the officers injured in the latest attack - which happened at around midnight UK time - were shot in the arms and legs.
An image posted on social media purported to show a wounded policeman and another person lying injured.
Police say the gunman fled on foot and urged people in the centre of the city to remain indoors.
Danish television station TV2 reported a large metro and train station near the scene, Norreport, was being evacuated.
Sky News cameraman Pete Milnes, who is in a hotel next to the synagogue in the centre of Copenhagen, 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 was 20 to 30 armed police officers with semi-automatic rifles shouting at locals to stay indoors and close windows."
He said the scene was now calmer.
"There's probably a dozen or so armed officers and a few detectives with sniffer dogs who seem to be combing the area ... and lifting drain covers," he said.
"Now they're just sealing off the area."
The earlier attack took place at a cafe hosting a debate on freedom of speech attended by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has been threatened with death for his cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
A 40-year-old man died in the attack at Krudttoenden cafe, which took place shortly before 3pm UK time - and police said a suspect was still at large.
Around 30 bullet holes were seen in the windows of cafe in the north of the city after the attack and at least two people were seen being taken away on stretchers, TV2 said.
Witnesses said police returned fire after someone shouted and opened fire.
