Halkidiki: Wild shooting incident at beach bar – Three in hospital, one seriously injured

A bloody incident occurred at midnight on Friday, in which three people were injured at a well-known beach bar in Hanioti, in Chalkidiki.

According to thestival.gr, one man was wounded in the chest, another was wounded by a knife, and a third was injured in an assault. All three are Bulgarian citizens.

The wounded were taken by ambulance to the Kassandria Health Centre and then it was deemed necessary to transfer them to the Polygyros Hospital. The health condition of the shot man is considered by doctors to be particularly serious.

At the time of the gunfight in the beach bar, there was a live music evening with the artist Manos Kagias. The event caused panic among customers and staff. “There was crying, screaming and shouting. People started running for their lives. They all left the shop. There was a clash of knives and a clash of shots. “Young children were running with their parents. There was panic,” a woman who was present at the incident told thestival.gr.

Police are collecting eyewitness statements to determine the circumstances of the incident. According to local media, it is considered likely that people from the Bulgarian mafia were involved.

What a volunteer rescuer describes:

“Around midnight I was alerted to a serious shooting incident with multiple people involved in a store by the sea in our neighborhood… Exactly two minutes later I arrived as the first responder on the scene with all the equipment and I focused directly on the unfortunate man who had received a bullet in his sternum… After calling the ambulance, I asked for specific instructions to handle the incident, because it was the first time I was called to treat a bullet wound… At the same time I called two ambulances because there were two others injured and especially one of the multiple blows to the head combined with the pepper spray, his vital signs were pressure 200 to 135 and 165 pulse…,” the rescuer described, according to the Cassandra Newspaper.

It continues: “The 2 ambulances took all three injured people for further care and transportation to Kassandra Health Centre and Polygyros Hospital…

There is no information about a fatal accident up to the time of writing this post and I tell you 100% everything else is incorrect.”
