Judge Astrit Kalaja will be escorted to his final residence today, following the serious incident that occurred two days ago, where he was shot dead in the courtroom at the Court of Appeals.
Family members have announced that the tributes will take place at the Palace of Congresses, from 9:00 to 11:00.
The event that took the judge's life has shocked public opinion due to the fact that it was an unusual act in our country and due to the fact that in the courtroom, one of the places where security should have been maximum, the perpetrator Elvis Shkambi pulled out a firearm and shot at the judge, instantly killing him and leaving two other people injured.
At 1:42 p.m., Elvis Shkambi and Gjon Shkambi entered the court's public waiting room and passed through the scanner (detector), one after the other. The presence of metal was signaled on the detector screen by flashing red lights, but Banush Koxha, a security officer at the Tirana Court of Appeal, remained seated in his chair and did not perform any physical check of these citizens or register them in the protocol book, where all persons entering and leaving the court premises must be recorded.
Elvis Shkambi and Gjon Shkambi remained in the court lobby until around 15:29, and then entered the courtroom (room no. 3). At 15:35, the parties stood up and, immediately after Judge Astrit Kalaja announced the verdict, Elvis Shkambi, who was in the courtroom, took out a pistol from his belt and shot several times at the judge, who, as a result of the injuries he received and after first aid, died during transport to the hospital.
At the same time, after this action, the perpetrator points his pistol and shoots once at citizens Rakip and Ervis Kurtaj, injuring both of them, who are currently in hospital out of danger.
After the incident, the perpetrator left the courtroom and handed over the weapon to the citizen, the judicial officer, for the supervision and progress of the judicial processes, in another courtroom. After exiting the courtroom, the perpetrator was immediately neutralized and handcuffed by the police officers.
