Police arrest 28-year-old after shots fired at parked motorcycle in Korydallos

The shooting

At about 03:20 on Tuesday, 3 November, a 28-year-old man opened fire outside a venue at the junction of Grigoriou Lampraki and Attalias streets, on the border between Korydallos and Nikaia in Athens. Greek outlets describe the premises differently, with some calling it a bar and others a business of health interest. According to the reports, he first fired at a parked motorcycle and then shot into the air. No injuries were reported.

Arrest and weapon

Police located the suspect a short distance away, at the junction of Makedonias and Korinthou streets, where he was walking on foot. A rifle, described as a carbine, was found at Adrianoupoleos Street number 1, close to the scene. Officers recovered four cartridge casings at the spot where the shots were fired. The 28-year-old was arrested, and the reports refer to him as the alleged perpetrator.

What happens next

The investigation is continuing in order to establish the exact causes of the incident. The 28-year-old is expected to be brought before the prosecutor. The reports do not give a motive, and no charges beyond the arrest are described in the articles.
