One of the participants in the cafe meeting was Lars Vilks, the controversial Swedish cartoonist who has faced death threats for drawing blasphemous pictures of Islam's Prophet Mohammad. Also in attendance was the French ambassador to Denmark. None of them was hurt in the shooting. Reports say up to 40 shots were fired. Vilks says the shooter may have been inspired by last month's attack on French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo which has a history of publishing blasphemous cartoons of Islam's prophet.
