A 46-year-old man who shot and injured four minors in Aigio has been temporarily detained after appearing before a judge.

A 46-year-old man in Aigio, Greece, has been temporarily detained by the authorities after allegedly shooting and injuring four minors. The incident occurred on Friday night when the accused reportedly fired a hunting weapon at three 16-year-olds and one 15-year-old, resulting in the victims requiring hospitalization at local medical facilities. Police were on high alert during the suspect's court appearance, anticipating potential protests from the public.

Prior to his court appearance, the accused was transported under heightened police security to ensure safety amidst public outcry. This disturbing event has drawn significant attention due to the youth of the victims and the use of a firearm. Investigators found evidence of gunshot residue on street fixtures in the area, which corroborates the claims of a directed gunfire incident.

The case raises serious concerns about gun violence and public safety, particularly regarding the targeting of minors. As a temporary detainee, the man awaits further legal proceedings, and the incident has prompted discussions in the community about youth safety and the accessibility of firearms in Greece.
