With Intensive investigations are continuing by the authorities to identify the perpetrator or perpetrators who opened fire early Sunday morning against a moving vehicle carrying three persons including a 6-year-old child.
According to the Cyprus Times, authorities believe that the weapon found a short distance from the scene of the attempted murder - about 400 metres - in Oroklini was stolen last August from a house in Limassol and is a military weapon.

For this reason, the investigations of the authorities cannot be excluded to extend to the National Guard, while at the same time the military weapon is expected to be sent for ballistic testing. The tests will determine beyond any doubt whether it is the weapon used in the attempted murder.
According to reliable sources, other important evidence recovered by the investigators, such as a hood and a visor, are also in the laboratories of the Ministry of Public Security.[/B] Both pieces of evidence were found at a distance of only about 100 meters from the place where the weapon was found.[/B][/B] Both pieces of evidence were found at a distance of only 100 meters from the place where the weapon was found.
As reported in a previous Cyprus Times report, the target from the movements of the perpetrator who fired from the driver's side, appears to have been the 42-year-old driver of the vehicle, who is a relative of a person well known to the authorities.
The fact that, in addition to the 42-year-old driver and the 39-year-old passenger, the 6-year-old child of the 39-year-old - since they were all going hunting together - was in the back seat of the vehicle that was shot at, is of great concern. Both wounded - a 42-year-old man and a 6-year-old boy - underwent surgical operations and are being treated out of danger at Larnaca General Hospital.
Terrified neighbours were brought to their feet by the gunfire, while some witnesses are being assessed that a motorbike was driven away from the scene at the time in question. Meanwhile, closed-circuit television cameras in the area were put under the microscope from the outset in an attempt to track possible movements of the perpetrator, or perpetrators.
Police, however, appear to have a direction in the investigations they are conducting.
