"The attacks unfolded earlier on Tuesday when a gunman walked into a social security office and opened fire with what appeared to be an antiquated shotgun, injuring a female employee in the leg."
"Judicial authorities slammed the Greek government for the inadequate security measures that had enabled the gunman to pass unnoticed into a courthouse."
"Highlighting the lax measures, Sotiris Tripolitsiotis claimed X-ray machines acquired to boost security in the courthouse remained unused seven years after they were bought because of the lack of properly trained staff."
An 89-year-old man was arrested in Patras after a double shooting in Athens, where he injured a female employee at a social security office and four court officials at an appeals court. The suspect reportedly has a history of mental illness and was upset over a rejected pension application. The attacks raised alarms about inadequate security measures in public buildings, with judicial authorities criticizing the government for allowing the gunman to enter unnoticed. Security equipment purchased years ago remains unused due to a lack of trained personnel.
