Shots fired

The owner of a night club in Paphos reported to police on Friday night that someone had fired a shot at the establishment’s main entrance.

The case was reported to police at around 11.30pm, shortly after the owner noticed the shot while opening his business, located on Ayios Antonios Street.

The man said he noticed marks on the door made by pellets fired by a hunting shotgun.

Police collected evidence from the scene in a bid to track down the perpetrators.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
