These type of incidents will happen more often when SSA benefits are cut across the board in a few years if Congress does not act.
Greece’s state-run TV channel, ERT, said a relative had been in contact with the broadcaster to say that the suspect had a history of mental illness and had been angered by the rejection of an application for a state pension.
89 years old? I don't know Greece's Social Security system, but something must have went terribly wrong! 😮
