At least two people died and several were injured on Saturday, state media reported, in a shooting on the Greek island of Crete suspected to be linked to a family vendetta.
State news agency ANA said at least two people, including a 50-year-old woman, were killed after gunmen opened fire on houses in the central village of Vorizia, some 52 kilometres (32 miles) southwest of the island capital Iraklio.
At least 10 more people were injured, ANA reported.
The incident occurred hours after a house under construction was targeted with an explosive device, the agency said.
