Five Injured in Two Shooting Incidents in Central Athens
According to reports, the first incident occurred at an EFKA social security office when an 89-year-old man allegedly entered the building and made his way to the fourth floor. There, he is said to have opened fire using a shotgun, injuring an employee who was taking part in a state-run employment program. The victim sustained minor injuries to the leg and was transported to hospital, where his condition was confirmed as not life-threatening.
Shortly after the initial attack, the suspect reportedly left the scene by taxi and later arrived at the Athens Court of Appeal in the Loukareos area. He is believed to have gone up to the fourth floor of the building and opened fire again, this time injuring four additional individuals. All of the injured were reported to have suffered only minor wounds.
Authorities stated that the weapon used in the second incident was left behind at the scene before the suspect fled.
Police have since launched a wide-scale manhunt in an effort to locate and apprehend the suspect.
