At least five people were wounded by an ‘experienced’ Greek shooter.

It’s a dangerous world, and mass shootings in places like schools, churches, and markets (not to mention hotels) are becoming ever more normalized.

But today (28), in Greece, a tragic incident occurred with a distinct feature: police arrested an 89-year-old man who allegedly opened fire with a shotgun in a social security office and a courthouse in central Athens.

The attack reportedly wounded five people.

Associated Press reported:

“Law enforcement authorities said the suspect was arrested near the city of Patra, some 210 kilometers (130 miles) west of the Greek capital.

The gunman initially opened fire at the social security office, wounding an employee, police said. Police officers who arrived at the scene treated the man, but the gunman fled the scene.”

CCTV footage apparently showed the man carrying a short-barreled shotgun in his right hand.

“The same man was suspected of later opening fire on the ground floor of a court building in another part of central Athens, with several people wounded there, police said, adding that authorities had found the shotgun.

[…] The head of the Athens Judicial Employees Union, Stratis Dounias, said that initial information indicated that the man had shot at the floor inside one of the offices in the court building.

At least three female court employees were slightly wounded by ricocheting shotgun pellets, while media reports said that a fourth female employee was transported to a hospital without physical injuries.”
