Man Attacks Greek Masonic Hall With Axe and Shotgun



by Christopher Hodapp

A 36-year-old Greek man was arrested late Sunday following an attack on the Masonic temple in the historic port city of Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece, with over a million inhabitants.

According to a report on the Greek City Times website, the man parked front of the Masonic hall at about 10:30 PM, got out of the car, and retrieved a shotgun and an axe from inside. He began beating on the lodge's main entry door with the axe, and fired off two gunshots.

Police quickly arrived following phone calls from neighbors who heard the shots. Following the collection of evidence at the scene, the man was arrested at his home in Nea Madyto, about 44 miles to the east of Thessaloniki. His weapons were found at the home.

He is to be arraigned by the local prosecutor later today. His name and motive has not been released.
