Copenhagen Attacks: Shooter's Accomplices Named, Pleading 'Not Guilty,' Says their Attorney (ONGOING INVESTIGATION)

Two men have been named accomplices of the Copenhagen shooter, according to Danish publisher Politiken.

The two accomplices are accused of helping 22-year-old Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein obtain weapons he allegedly used in the attacks at Krudttønden in Østerbro and at the synagogue in Krystalgade. They are also accused of helping the alleged shooter escape.

They face charges of "complicity in murder and attempted complicity to manslaughter," according to a translated version of Politiken.

Michael Juul Eriksen, the attorney for one of the accused, said both men are pleading "not guilty" to the murder charges and they have not been charged with 'complicity in terror."
