Finn Nørgaard, a 55-year-old, documentary director was the first of two victims in the shootings that took place in Copenhagen on Saturday and Sunday, reports DR.

Nørgaard was attending the blasphemy debate on Saturday night at the Krudttønden theatre in Østerbro when a gunman opened fire in the building.

The film director worked on many feature films and documentaries, including producing company films for Maersk, SAS and Microsoft, and co-owned the film company, Filmselskabet, which started in 2001. 

Nørgaard was the first of two victims the gunman killed.

Second victim
The second victim was 37-year-old Dan Uzan, who was killed hours later when a gunman shot him while he was standing guard at the Jewish synagogue in downtown Copenhagen.

Police believe the gunman was the same who opened fire at the debate.

Uzan was standing at the gate of the synagogue admitting people into the parish hall where a group of approximately 80 people were celebrating a girl’s Bat Mitzvah.

Uzan was an economics graduate from the University of Copenhagen who was very involved in the local Jewish community, the Jewish Society said.
