Police shot a 20-year-old man in the head in Argos. He is hospitalized at Thriasio Hospital in very critical condition with a severe traumatic brain injury.
According to reports, the man ignored police orders to stop for a check and attempted to ram the police vehicle. He then fled on foot, tried to climb over a wall, and was struck by two bullets.
According to Kathimerini, police officers had trapped the 20-year-old near a well-known supermarket before he abandoned his vehicle. He then left his car at that location and attempted to escape on foot, at which point the officers opened fire. Investigators recovered 13 shell casings from the scene.
The incident took place today at around 2:00 a.m., near the Pyrgella Community in Argos.
The two police officers who pursued him were arrested on charges of violating firearms legislation and causing grievous bodily harm, while authorities are investigating whether both officers fired their weapons or only one of them.
