Shotgun and threats in the Reggio night
According to questure.poliziadistato.it, the Flying Squad of the Gioia Tauro Police Station arrested a 20-year-old from the province of Reggio Calabria during a night-time check on Via Umberto I in Rosarno. Officers heard a gunshot and saw two people leaving on foot, one of whom was armed with a shotgun.
Police pursued the fugitives, managing to stop one after he had attempted to dispose of a balaclava and the weapon. The shotgun, with a partially erased serial number, was recovered still loaded. A search of the area identified a vehicle that had been struck by gunfire.
The suspect was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, aggravated threats and aggravated criminal damage. The Public Prosecutor's Office of Palmi is continuing investigations to reconstruct the circumstances and identify the second fugitive. The motives behind the incident remain to be clarified.
