"The suspect had allegedly begun the shooting spree as he opened fire inside a social security agency in the district of Kerameikos in the centre of Athens."
"The attacker reportedly told an employee to duck before firing a shot that struck an employee of the state pension organisation EFKA in the leg."
"The motive for the shootings has yet to be established, but the suspect reportedly threw envelopes containing documents on the floor of the court after opening fire, claiming they explained the reasons for his actions."
"Gun violence in Greece is rare, with firearm ownership permitted but tightly regulated."
