Late yesterday afternoon, a firefight between people shook the tranquility of the hamlet of Tramontone in Taranto. Two people on a scooter opened fire on a man, who managed to dodge the shots and respond to the attack by getting into a car and shooting himself. This episode generated great panic among those present.
The episode occurred near a service station located in via Mediterraneo. The protagonists of the incident, both on the motorbike and in the car, chased each other up to a roundabout and then returned towards the petrol station. Before the arrival of the patrols of the Flying Squad and the flying section of the Police Headquarters, the contenders disappeared.
At the site of the firefight between people, forensics found numerous shell casings. One of these bullets lodged in a pole, at such a height that it could hit a person. The police have started investigations to identify those responsible and determine the reason for the conflict. The security camera images are currently under review.
The episode raised a series of questions about public safety in the area. The inhabitants of Tramontone, still in shock, wonder how it is possible that a firefight between people could occur in broad daylight without anyone being injured. The police are working to provide answers to these questions and ensure that similar incidents do not happen again in the future.
Authorities are urging anyone with useful information to come forward to help with the investigation. It is essential that the community works together to restore tranquility to the neighborhood and bring those responsible to justice.
While the investigations continue, the hope is that episodes of such violence will never happen again, and that those responsible will soon be identified and punished.
