Elderly Man's Shotgun Rampage in Athens

0:00On April 28, an 89-year-old man got arrested in Greece after allegedly firing a shotgun in Central Athens, wounding at least four people at, a social security office and a nearby courthouse. He kicked things off at the Social Security Building, where he shot an employee in the leg before slipping away. Later, he turned up at the courthouse ground floor and fired again, nicking three female staffers with ricocheting pellets. Ambulance crews rushed the injured to hospitals, with cops applying a tourniquet on the spot for the leg wound. A union leader noted the courthouse shots hit the floor, causing those minor injuries, while another employee got checked out with no physical harm. Authorities nabbed him near Patra, 210 kilometers west of the capital, and recovered the short barrel shotgun. He reportedly wore a trench coat to conceal it and left envelopes with documents claiming they explained his actions. Gun violence stays rare in Greece thanks to strict firearm rules, so this shook everyone up. They're still digging into the unclear motive as the investigation rolls on.
