(CNN)Two gunmen stormed a Copenhagen, Denmark, building where controversial cartoonist Lars Vilks and his supporters had gathered Saturday, killing a man and wounding three police officers before fleeing the scene, police said.

Helle Merete Brix -- the founder of the Lars Vilks Committee, created two years ago in support of the Swedish cartoonist whose portrayals of the Prophet Mohammed angered many in the Muslim world -- told CNN that security personnel on site moved her and others to safe areas after shots rang out.

She and Vilks ended up in a storage room together, holding hands, until police told them it was OK to come out.

"We have never taken any chances," Brix said, referring to the heavy security from police, Danish intelligence services and Vilks' own security guards at this and other committee events. "What we have so much been frightened would happen happened."

After the attack, what appeared to be "two armed men" dressed in dark clothes carjacked a civilian's dark Volkswagen Polo and drove away, according to Danish police spokesman Joergen Skov. That vehicle was later located between two train stations.

The gunmen, though, remained at large Saturday night.

Copenhagen police issued this photo of an individual in connection with Saturday's terror attack.

The 40-year-old man they killed hasn't been identified. Nor have authorities identified the three wounded law enforcement officers -- two with Danish intelligence and one police officer -- though Skov did say none of them suffered serious injuries.

Given Islamic extremists' documented threats against Vilks and their willingness to act on similar threats -- as proven last month in France -- Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said, "Everything points to ... the shooting in Oesterbro (being) a political assassination and therefore a terror attack."

Thorning-Schmidt vowed that "all resources will be used to find (those responsible) and bring them before a judge" for an attack she said filled her "with deep anger."

"We have some difficult days ahead," the Prime Minister said. "... But in Denmark, we will never bow to violence."
So this is going to a monthly thing now like retro Js?

This is why restricting gun ownership leads to criminals doing as they please. Best believe people would think twice about shooting a gun if they knew the other person could we armed

People act like idiots all throughout the world for a variety of reasons. Extreme Islam isn't the only one. 
 
blco02 and DubA169 reaction when they learned about this story that gives them an excuse to further spew their bigotry:

R.I.P. to the dead.

I'll never understand trying to use someone's death as an opportunity to try to spew religious hate.

It's this same hate that fuels these tragedies.

Better get your flame suit on. It's likely you're gonna be called a bigot.

Can't blame anyone based on the things you say. With the all in one view you guys constantly bring up, you must not know any Muslims in real life. How could you? You can't say what you say here then turn and look that person in the eye. Islam extremists are a problem, but so are Christian extremists, American nationalist extremists, hood logic extremists etc. there are dangerous, motivated individuals out there. I don't even know why I would need to explain that you can't lump everyone in a group as having the same line of thinking.
 
White terrorist executed 3 muslims in Chapel Hill and the white media is trying to use parking space as the reason instead of calling a spade a spade 
and what exactly does that have to do with this topic?
 
I think he was implying the media is quick to label some people terrorists and not others (usually white) because they don't fit the agenda.

No mentally sane person kills three people over parking space.

This false equivalence garbage mantra needs to end. Its embarrassing. No you can't lump everyone in a group. But you also shouldn't be doing mental gymnastics in an attempt the to downplay the current sitiation. i can look anyone in the eye and say the same thing. You think muslims dont know there is an extremist problem currently at this point in time? You think they are unaware and never discuss it? you guys come from a good place but its just patronizing to pretend this **** isnt a serious problem and that anyone who comments on it is a bigot.
