BEIRUT: A man fatally shot his attacker during an altercation at his home in Beirut Wednesday night, a security source said.
The source told The Daily Star that 70-year-old Butros Abdo, armed with a shotgun, entered Avedis Kassibian’s home on Gebran Khalil Gebran Street in Sin al-Fil late Wednesday.
Abdo shot Kassibian in the leg, but Kassibian managed to snatch the rifle from Abdo, shooting him in the chest and legs. Both men were admitted to hospital and Abdo died of his wounds Thursday.
The motive behind the attack was not immediately known. In a separate incident, a woman was shot in the foot at her home in Aramoun in Mount Lebanon.
Rana Suleiman Jamaleddine, who was admitted to Kamal Jumblatt Hospital in Shoueifat late Wednesday night, was struck by a bullet from her husband’s pistol. Rana did not file charges and told the police that the gun accidentally fired when it was set on the table.
