Cafe Shooting Survivor Relives Horror Of Attack

One of the survivors of the deadly cafe attack in Copenhagen has told Sky News how people hid on the ground between tables and chairs as the gunman opened fire. The killer armed with an automatic weapon carried out his assault as a discussion on free speech was taking place at the cultural centre in the Krudttoenden area. A 55-year-old man attending the event was killed and three police officers were injured. Witness Dennis Meyhoff Brink said about half an hour into the meeting he said he heard shots coming from the room next door which is the cafe part of the building. He said there were about 30 shots and it took a few seconds before he realised the group was under attack. Mr Brink said people panicked and ran towards the doors to try to get out. He said he heard a man yelling what he thought was Arabic and one of his first thoughts was that it was a Paris-style terror attack. "I couldn't help thinking about what happened to Charlie Hebdo.
"We were just completely in shock and thought now it was our turn to get shot down". Mr Brink was in a group of five who were "so shocked" that they could not get the door open and "were shaking all over". Hearing more shots, they decided it was too dangerous to go outside so they lay down on the ground. "People were trying to hide between tables and chairs that were turned over even though it was not a very good hiding place. "We were simply hoping for the best." After about two minutes, a man came through the door with a gun in his hand and they were "terrified" that he was the killer. But he turned out to be a man from the intelligence services who had been shot in the leg and was running to a back door to secure it. Around five minutes later, they heard "numerous police cars arrive" and "we then knew that we were most likely safe". One of the people speaking at the event was controversial Swedish cartoonist, who has had death threats for his cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. He was accompanied by bodyguards and was unharmed in the attack. Mr Brink said he had not expected the meeting to be dangerous because there was security at the event. "You of course know there is a theoretical chance that something could happen but I thought it was extremely unlikely that it would happen because this was not a provocative event. "It was simply a very peaceful debate and dialogue meeting about the conditions of art and the possibilities for making art when free speech is under pressure." CCTV images of the suspect were then released as police launched a massive manhunt for the killer. Hours later, he shot dead a man outside a synagogue in the city. The suspect was later killed by police after he fired at them.

How My Daughter Seduced Me To Have Sex With Her – John Awah

“I became attracted to my daughter, when I saw her. And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
