At least 10 other people were injured, ANA reported.

Armed police launched an operation to secure the area so ambulances could collect the injured, state television ERT reported.
Illegal possession of firearms is common in Crete and family feuds are common on the island.
Last Sunday, a 23-year-old man shot and killed a 52-year-old man during a village festival in western Crete.
