He murders his boss and two colleagues and barricades himself with two hostages after being fired from a shipping company in Greece

A 76-year-old man with a unique background recently caused a major disturbance in the town of Glyfada, south of Athens. After being fired from a Greek shipping company, he took drastic measures by breaking into the company’s headquarters. Tragically, he ended up killing the owner, a co-owner, and a former captain of the company. The situation escalated further as the aggressor barricaded himself inside the building with two hostages.

Thankfully, a swift police operation successfully secured the release of the hostages, but the assailant tragically lost his own life during the intervention. The Greek Police quickly responded to the incident, which initially involved gunfire inside the facilities of the Glyfada shipping company.

The 76-year-old assailant, of Egyptian origin, had armed himself with a rifle and targeted the victims on the first floor of the building. After the tragic shootings, he retreated to the basement, where he was finally located by the authorities. Sadly, the perpetrator was found fatally injured, lying beside his weapon. Furthermore, a revolver was discovered in the vehicle he used to arrive at the scene.

Following this horrific incident, the Department of Crimes against Life and Personal Liberty of the Security Directorate of the Attica region has launched an extensive investigation to determine the motive and gather crucial evidence.
