Police in Amfissa, Fokida, are investigating an incident where a court employee in his 40s took his own life in the local courthouse using a confiscated weapon held in the evidence room.

Police sources said the incident took place at 2:30 p.m. while some trials were still in progress and the noise of the shooting caused panic inside the building.

A colleague later found the body of the man in the evidence room.
