The report to 113 for “a series of shots” in rapid sequence

«Stesa» yesterday evening in via Padre Ludovico da Casoria. The report made to 113 spoke of “a series of shots” in rapid sequence. The officers went to the location of the report and found confirmation. On the corner between via Padre Ludovico da Casoria and via Ciccone, eleven shell casings were recovered. It is unclear whether they exploded from the same weapon.

Yet another raid on the Case Nuove it raises the bar of tension again because on the night between 11 and 12 December, not far from there, a raid in which 80 bullets were fired led to the wounding of an innocent 68-year-old woman who was leaving a shop. Assault weapons and dozens of bullets made people think of a war scene a few steps from Naples central station. Five people were arrested in the hours following the raid. After the “spread” they were caught in possession of weapons compatible with those used in the armed incursion. Only two were charged with attempted murder.
