They secured the area to protect any evidence. The investigation is ongoing. More questions will happen Wednesday morning.

Andreas Konstantinou from the police spoke about the event. He said, "Unknown people shot at a house." He also said, "The police were told late, even though the shooting was earlier." This delay makes the start of the investigation harder.
