Denmark is still coming to terms with the weekend’s deadly terrorist attacks in Copenhagen.

On Monday, residents of the city gathered for a vigil to honor the two people killed in the shootings. But on Tuesday, police temporarily cordoned off the area where one of the attacks took place to investigate what was thought to be a “suspicious” letter.

Here are the latest developments in the aftermath of the shooting spree.

THE SCENE

Frayed nerves: Police on Tuesday cordoned off the area around the cafe where a gunman on Saturday had fired shots into a free-speech forum. A CNN team at the scene said it appeared the suspicious letter had been removed by a member of the bomb disposal unit, but the sight of heavily armed Danish police searching the area with sniffer dogs was unlikely to ease the city’s frayed nerves.

THE INVESTIGATION

Swearing allegiance: The man suspected of carrying out the attacks, identified as Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, swore fidelity to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a post on what appears to be the suspect’s Facebook page just before the shooting spree. FULL STORY

Copenhagen Police released this image of an Nov. 22, 2013, incident on the city's passenger rail system. The suspect (face not blacked out) stabbed a 19-year-old man in the thigh while on the train. The suspect, identified by police as the same person involved in the Feb. 15, 2015 free speech attack, was convicted in the stabbing and recently released from jail.

Charges filed: Charges have been filed against two men who are accused of agreeing to help to hide the gunman, the men’s attorney said Monday. FULL STORY

Ties that bind: El-Hussein’s ties to criminal gangs highlight the links between gangs and extremists in Denmark, experts say. “There is a closer nexus between immigrant criminal gangs and violent extremists in Denmark than anywhere else,” said Magnus Ranstorp of the Swedish National Defence College.

THE IMPACT

Coming together: Denmark began the healing process Monday night with a candlelight vigil at which Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt appealed for national unity.

Anti-semitism fears: The attacks, one of whose targets was a synagogue, have heightened concerns among Denmark’s Jewish population. “We’ve been fearing something like this could happen in Denmark for quite a while,” a Jewish community leader told CNN.

Open arms: Following the shootings, the Israeli government has reiterated an invitation to Jews in Europe and elsewhere, saying that “Israel is waiting for you with open arms.” FULL STORY

THE ARTIST

In hiding: Lars Vilks, the Swedish artist who says he was probably the target of the cafe shooting, has gone into hiding.

“I’ve just got to know that I will not be able to return to my home,” Vilks, who is on an al Qaeda hit list, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “They will put me away somewhere else.” FULL STORY

Swedish artist Lars Vilks is pictured near burn stains in his kitchen at his home outside of Hoganas on May 16, 2010. Police arrested two suspects after an attempted fire-bomb attack on the home of a Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, controversial for drawing the Prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog, they said today. Both suspects, aged 21 and 19, are Swedish nationals of Kosovar origin, from the southern city of Landskrona, and have been detained after personal items were found near the scene.
