Dan Rosenberg Asmussen, head of the local Jewish community told Danish television a few moments ago that around 80 people from the community were gathered inside the house of worship for a bat-mitzva celebration at the time of the attack.
“The Community is in shock, it is like the shootings in Paris,” Rosenberg Asmussen said, “we had contacted the police after the shooting at Café Krudttønden to have them present at the bat-mitzva, but unfortunately this happened anyway.”
Rosenberg Asmussen said he was not present at the celebration.
What was this Jewish Synagogue member exactly guarding the Bat Mitzvah celebration with?…As the authorities are loathe to let civilians protect themselves with proper weapons, might I assume that this guard was “armed” with a whistle and a stale challah?
