A tragic event unfolded in the Albanian capital on Monday when a man on trial shot and killed the presiding judge in open court, sending shockwaves through the country’s legal community.
According to police, the incident occurred during a session at the Court of Appeals in Tirana.
The defendant, whose name has not been released as of press time, was standing trial in a case reportedly linked to a long-running property dispute.
Judge Astrit Kalaja, who was overseeing the matter, was shot after the suspect suddenly pulled out a firearm and opened fire during proceedings.
The courtroom erupted in chaos as security personnel quickly subdued the gunman before he could flee the scene.
Despite being rushed to the hospital, Judge Kalaja was pronounced dead en route due to the severity of his injuries.
Two other individuals, believed to be a father and son involved in the same case, were also injured in the attack. Authorities confirmed that both are currently hospitalized and in stable condition.
Preliminary reports from local media suggest the shooter may have reacted violently after sensing the verdict would not be in his favor.
