Shooting at Company Building in Nicosia

Police in Nicosia have started a big investigation after someone shot at a company building in the Strovolos area. The event happened late on Saturday night. It shocked the local people, and the police responded immediately. The people who did it are still free, and the police do not yet know why they did it.

The attack happened just before midnight. It broke the quiet in an area that is usually very calm at that time. Police say that one or more people fired many bullets at the building's entrance. The front of the building was damaged, and you can see several bullet holes in the main door. Police quickly found and collected important evidence, like empty bullet shells, from the area.

After the shooting, police closed off a large area around the building. This let detectives and forensic experts check the scene carefully for clues. They are looking for more bullet evidence, fingerprints, and anything else that can help find the criminals. At the same time, police are looking for CCTV cameras on nearby buildings. They hope the video from these cameras will show the people who did it and how they arrived and left.

A police spokesperson said the investigation is ongoing but would not talk about a possible motive. Because there is no clear reason, police are looking at many ideas. They think it could be a threat to the company or maybe a case of mistaken identity. The police have not said what kind of business is in the building.

No one was hurt in the shooting, but people in the community feel worried. The police have said that solving this case is very important and they are using all their resources. They are now waiting for results from the evidence to help them find the people responsible.
