He said one of those injured was in critical but stable condition; the others had minor injuries.
Police were still searching for the gunmen late Saturday.
Christiania has been a freewheeling anarchist commune since the 1970s when hippies started squatting in a former naval base. Hashish sales were tolerated there by authorities until 2004 when police started to crack down on the drug trade. Still, the hashish trade has continued with occasional flareups in violence linked to criminal gangs.
