Shots fired

SHOTS were fired at a car that was parked outside its owner’s residence in Nicosia at around 10:25 pm on Friday. Police rushed to the scene and found that two shots were fired at the car itself and one at the window of a ground-floor residence located below the one of the car owner.
The 52-year old owner was at home with his wife when the shots were fired, whereas the tenant of the ground-floor residence was absent. Tests showed that the shots most probably came from a pistol. CID Nicosia is investigating the case.

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.
