Shooting in Kolonos leaves a man wounded in his car, two people brought in

The shooting

Gunshots were heard in Kolonos shortly before 21:00 on 6 November 2026, and residents alerted the authorities. Police units moved to the scene and found a man inside his car with a wound to the abdomen. Press reports describe him as a 36-year-old man of Albanian origin, while SKAI gives his birth year as 1990, and he was still alive when found.

An ambulance crew took him to the Attikon General Hospital, accompanied by a unit from the DIAS police motorcycle squad. The reports do not give his condition beyond the fact that he was alive at the scene. Officers have not named him, and the articles provide no further detail about his wound.

Detentions and evidence

Police brought in two people, who are being examined as part of the inquiry into the incident. Investigators collected two cartridges, a bullet and a mobile phone from the scene. The articles do not say whether any of the detained people has been charged.

Circumstances still unclear

The circumstances of the shooting remain unclear, and police are still gathering evidence to establish what happened before it. Press reports say the attackers opened fire as the man walked about 200 metres from the Estavromenou church to his car. Those accounts have not been confirmed by the authorities, and the articles offer no motive.
