Two people have died and at least six others were injured in a shooting on the Greek island of Crete, authorities reported. The incident occurred on Saturday and is believed to have been sparked by a long-standing family feud.
The shooting took place shortly after 11 a.m. in the village of Vorizia, located 52 kilometers (32 miles) south of Heraklion, Crete’s largest city. According to police statements, the two victims—a 39-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman—died as a result of the shootout.
Six other individuals were injured and transported to local hospitals with varying degrees of severity, local emergency services EKAB confirmed. Among the injured are two men who remain hospitalized under guard while their involvement in the incident is being investigated by authorities.
Local media reports indicate that the shooting is the latest episode in a long-running feud between two local families. This follows an explosion on Friday night at a house under construction in the area, which caused property damage but no injuries.
The shooting led to a significant deployment of security forces and emergency response teams to the small mountain village. Authorities have opened a preliminary investigation into the events. Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
