A tragic shooting incident on the Greek island of Crete has left two people dead and at least six others injured, authorities confirmed on Saturday. The violence, which erupted in the village of Vorizia, approximately 52 kilometers south of Heraklion, is believed to stem from a long-standing feud between two local families. According to police reports, the victims included a 39-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman, both of whom succumbed to their injuries during the shootout. Six additional individuals were hospitalized with injuries of varying severity, as stated by the local emergency services, EKAB. Two of the injured men remain under police guard as their potential involvement in the incident is investigated. The shooting prompted a significant deployment of security forces and emergency responders to the small mountain town, where authorities have launched a preliminary investigation. This incident appears to be the latest escalation in a protracted conflict between the two families, which reportedly began over disputes related to grazing lands. Although these conflicts were previously resolved through private mediation, tensions reignited last year when a member of one family purchased land in an area controlled by the other. The same property was the site of an explosion on Friday night, though no injuries were reported from that event. Greek public broadcaster ERT highlighted that such family disputes are not uncommon in rural Crete, where private mediation is often employed to resolve conflicts.
