Overview
- Police arrested an 89-year-old suspect in the port city of Patras hours after the Tuesday shootings, following a nationwide search.
- The attacker first shot a worker at a social security office called EFKA, then took a taxi to the Athens Court of Appeals and wounded four judicial staff.
- Hospitals treated five people for mostly minor wounds, including injuries to legs and feet.
- Police recovered the shotgun used in the attacks, and investigators are reviewing reports of the suspect’s past mental illness and a denied pension claim.
- Judicial groups condemned weak courthouse screening after saying X-ray machines sat unused for seven years because no staff were trained.
