Remember that the 89-year-old man who shot with a shotgun and wounded five people yesterday in two successive attacks at the EFKA Kerameikos and the Athens Court of First Instance was taken to the Evelpidon Courts<\/a>.<\/b> The elderly man was arrested in Patras, in possession of a loaded 38 revolver<\/b> and was taken to the GADA last night. The 89-year-old yesterday morning, with a shotgun, wounded an employee of the NFKA,who remains hospitalized, and then four other employees of the Court of First Instance.<\/p>\n“Desperation and indignation”<\/h3>\n
In a statement, his lawyer said the 89-year-old spoke of “desperation and indignation” for having armed his hand.<\/p>\n
The 89-year-old, in his statement to officers of the Athens Sub-Division for the Investigation and Detection of Crimes, reiterated that the cause of his actions was that he was not vindicated in his long-running dispute with the state for the pension supplement <\/b>he was seeking for the years he had worked in Greece while receiving pensions from America and Germany.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t want to kill,” the 89-year-old reportedly told police. “I just wanted to make noise to make my problem heard. If I wanted to kill I would have killed, but I was shooting on the floor<\/b>.” This is confirmed by eyewitnesses to the attacks.<\/p>\n
The 89-year-old, according to the same sources, was asked if he had intended to go to Strasbourg, as heard yesterday. “I thought about it,” he said, “going and firing a rifle and there at the court.What to go to jail here, what in Europe.<\/b>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
