Shooting on Greek island of Crete leaves 2 dead and at least 6 injured
- On Saturday, police said a shooting in the village of Vorizia left two people dead and at least ten injured.
- An earlier Friday-night bomb attack at a construction site in Vorizia preceded the shooting, which authorities suspect is linked to a family vendetta rooted in revenge and perceived insults.
- Reports say the gunfire used AK-47s and shotguns amid widespread illegal gun ownership on Crete, while authorities have not released details about the suspected gunman and two officers spoke anonymously.
- Senior police and reinforcements have surrounded and searched the village while ambulances collected the wounded, as Greece's head of police and head of the unit fighting organised crime traveled to Crete on Saturday.
- Wider Cretan patterns of celebratory gunfire and failed anti-violence drives frame this latest attack, as guns often mark celebrations and a 2005 disarmament campaign backed by Mikis Theodorakis had little effect.
