Harry Styles concert goers ‘ran for their lives’ after a gunman opened fire next to the arena he was performing at in Copenhagen.
The ‘Late Night Talking’ singer aged 28 was set to perform at the Royal Arena venue on his Love On Tour show in the city when a gunman fatally shot three people and left four in intensive care in hospital.
Hundreds of former One Direction fans were patiently waiting in the shopping mall which was just a few steps away from the venue when the shooting happened.

Harry took to Twitter to share his feelings about the shooting saying; “I’m heartbroken along with the people of Copenhagen. I adore this city. The people are so warm and full of love.
“I’m devastated for the victims, their families, and everyone hurting. I’m sorry we couldn’t be together. Please look after each other. H.”
