The suspect was detained in Patra, 200km from Athens, after allegedly wounding a man and four women at two locations with a shotgun and a revolver.
The shootings occurred at a social security agency in Kerameikos and a courthouse in Ambelokipi, with all injuries reported as non-life-threatening.
Police maintain a heavy presence at both sites while investigating the motive, as gun violence remains rare in Greece due to strict firearm regulations.
