COPENHAGEN — Two men suspected of helping the 22-year-old gunman responsible for killing a documentary filmmaker and a guard in Copenhagen in a rare outbreak of terrorism have been arrested, the Danish police said on Monday.
The two men, who were not identified, were detained on Sunday in raids in Norrebro, the neighborhood where the gunman was killed by officers as he opened fire, the police said. The Danish news media reported that the two men were being held on suspicion of assisting the gunman by giving him shelter and getting rid of a weapon.
The authorities had previously said the gunman appeared to have operated on his own, but heavily armed officers spread out on Sunday through Norrebro, where he was believed to have lived, searching apartments and raiding an Internet cafe.

Ms. Thorning-Schmidt rejected the Israeli leader’s call, insisting that the country’s Jewish community was an essential part of Danish society.
“They belong in Denmark,” Ms. Thorning-Schmidt said on Sunday, as she laid flowers at a memorial to the slain Jewish guard, Dan Uzan, 37. “They are a strong part of our community, and we will do everything we can to protect the Jewish community in our country.”
