According to what has become known so far, Stefanos Chios received two bullets, in the neck and in the ribs, while two more were nailed to his car. The murderous attack on the journalist took place shortly after 03:00 in the morning when he parked outside his house.

The information states that one of the two perpetrators approached him and shot him twice from close range through the driver's window. The journalist's reaction was immediate, as he managed to open the door and knock one of the perpetrators, blocking the firearm he was holding.

"Stefanos Chios received two bullets from a stranger wearing black clothes and who had an accomplice waiting for him. "One of the bullets passed near the carotid artery and the other near the heart, while in his car there are two bullet holes", police sources pointed out about the attack.

Immediately after the murderous attack, the perpetrators fled in an unknown direction. Subsequently, the well-known journalist appeared covered in blood at Sismanogleio Hospital and from there, since the hospital was not on duty, he was transferred by ambulance to KAT, where he is being treated. According to information, Stefanos Chios is being treated under sedation with his condition being characterized as controlled, while more details about the perpetrators are expected to be given by the journalist who will give the testimony to the Authorities.

The journalist, known for his outspoken and often abusive view, uploaded his own picture after the attack on social media.
