Larnaca Shaken by Wild West-Style Shooting

A serious incident involving shootings and weapon use took place in the center of Larnaca, just 100 meters from the police station. The incident, reminiscent of scenes from police movies, appears to be the result of a turf war between factions over the provision of protection to businesses. Reports indicate that the factions were demanding large sums of money from a businessman, who refused to pay, leading to the clash. Police are investigating and have gathered significant evidence, while the Minister of Justice has asked Parliament to strengthen the police with the necessary resources to combat organized crime.
