Four Officers Killed on This Day in History

 

This day in history: In Denmark, small-time criminal Palle Sørensen shot and killed four policemen who were pursuing him on this day in 1965; he was apprehended the next day. 

Palle Sørensen's crime eventually led to the arming of Danish police officers.

There are still nineteen countries or territories where the police do not carry firearms unless the situation is expected to merit it. some of those include Bhutan, Botswana, China, Cook Islands, Fiji, Iceland, Ireland, Kiribati, Malawi, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Norway, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and the United Kingdom.
