A 22-year-old Danish male has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. He will face questioning in front of a judge later on Monday.
Chief Police Inspector Soren Thomassen told reporters there was no indication the suspect had acted together with others.
The attack rocked Denmark at the end of an otherwise joyful week, just after it hosted the first three stages of the Tour de France cycle race.
The shooter killed two 17-year-olds, a man and a woman, and a 47-year-old Russian citizen living in Denmark.
Four other people were also wounded by gunshot.
