A 40-year-old woman stood lucky in the midst of misfortune, who was shot with an air gun by an elderly “gunman” who was having fun using her as a moving target in the “Canal” area of Ptolemaida where she was walking with a friend, on Wednesday afternoon!
The woman heard a noise and immediately felt pain in her arm, which received the airgun projectile. If he had hit her at a more critical point, she would have been even more seriously injured. He immediately fled to the “Bodosakeio” hospital where he underwent an operation to remove the bullet and described to the Eordaia Security Police where and how he was injured.
Within a few hours, the police managed to locate the perpetrator, a 70-year-old man who owns property in this area and claimed that he shot… accidentally! A case file was filed against him for dangerous bodily harm and violation of the weapons law and he was taken to the Kozani District Attorney.
They fired a rescue flare
Without being in danger, two 39-year-old Latvians on board a UK-flagged sailing vessel threw a flare into the sea area of Kale Neroni in Magnesia, needlessly mobilizing the Coast Guard. Two patrol boats arrived at the scene on Tuesday night to provide assistance, but when they found that the flare had been thrown without reason, they arrested the two foreigners and confiscated the rest of the emergency lights they found on the boat.
