The perpetrator was found in the basement of the building, having ended his life with the gun found next to him in the Athens seaside neighbourhood of Glyfada
An Egyptian man is responsible for killing three people before ending his own life at the shipping company in Athens, Proto Thema reported.
The shooter was found dead with the gun next to him in the basement of a shipping company by the Special Suppressive Antiterrorist Unit (EKAM). The Egyptian man shot three people inside the company's premises, who are reportedly dead.
According to Proto Thema, the dead Egyptian was a former worker who had been fired. He was a foreman at the company for years.
The perpetrator entered the company's premises from the parking lot, as despite the fact that he had been fired, he still had the right to access the site.
Upon entering, he said he was going in to clean up. He first went up to the mezzanine where he shot two people and then stopped on the second floor where he shot one more person.
