Suspected attempted murder at a bar in Elbasan, police identify and search for the perpetrator

A serious incident occurred at around 14:50 this Saturday inside a popular bar in the city of Elbasan. Preliminary suspicions are that one person attempted to shoot and kill another.

The suspect is reported to have approached the person he was targeting, pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. The act caused fear and panic among the customers inside the bar.

It has not yet been established whether the perpetrator opened fire or was stopped before he could shoot. At this stage, there have been no reports of injuries, while the investigative team is working to fully clarify the circumstances of the incident.

Immediately after being notified of the incident, police launched an investigation and, based on preliminary information, managed to identify the suspected perpetrator. Police are continuing their search to locate and arrest him, while evidence and witness statements are being gathered to reconstruct the entire sequence of events.

The cause of the confrontation has not yet been determined. Investigators are examining the possibility that the people involved had previous conflicts, while also looking into other circumstances that may have led to the incident.

The incident is considered particularly dangerous because it occurred at midday in a busy bar. The possible use of a firearm could also have had serious consequences for the other people who were there.

The investigation is continuing to determine exactly how the incident unfolded, the motive and the suspect’s responsibility. Meanwhile, an official police statement on the case and the next procedural steps is expected.
