Police in Paralimni, Cyprus, are investigating a shooting. It happened outside a house early Tuesday morning. Police think the shooting is linked to a businessman. He is known in the Famagusta area. He has had problems with crime before.
Police got a report about the shooting around 5:30 pm on Tuesday. Officers went to the place quickly. They are still trying to find out what gun was used. They also do not know how many shots were fired. It seems unknown people shot at the businessman's home.
This is not the first time the businessman has been attacked. Last summer, his business in Ayia Napa had two serious incidents. An explosive device was found at his business. This caused people to leave the area. Later, there was a bomb threat at the same place. These events caused worry for local businesses.
The police are looking at all evidence very carefully. They are checking for fingerprints and talking to witnesses. They are also looking for video from cameras near the house. The investigation is moving fast. This is because the businessman has been targeted before. Police want to know why the shooting happened. They also want to find the people responsible. They are looking to see if this shooting is connected to the past attacks.
The police have not named the businessman. He is important in the local hotels and entertainment business. He has had to increase his security in the past. This new event will likely make him worry more. Police are asking for help from the public. Any information could help catch the people involved. This shows the problems caused by organized crime. People are waiting for the police results. They hope it will explain these attacks.
