Attempted to kill two people, Albanian and Italian arrested in Foggia, Italy

The officers announced they owed a 37-year-old Albanian and a co-agent to Foggia, both seriously suspected of attempted murder and possession of illegal weapons.

On the evening of May 10th, a carabinieri patrol engaged in territorial control intervened near the Penny Market parking lot at the Via San Severo in Foggia, where a foreign citizen was reportedly receiving death threats from an acquaintance.

Upon arrival at the scene, soldiers heard gunshots coming from the park on Ugo Iarus Street, and at the same time, they noticed many people, including women and children, fleeing in haste to escape danger.

Carabinieri immediately identified and arrested two individuals believed to be involved in the shooting, both with numerous criminal precedents. The first, an Albanian citizen, was arrested approximately 40m from the site of the event; the second, a local Italian, was attended and arrested shortly later by the officers, also thanks to information provided by several passersby.

During the intervention, carabinieri found that a woman and a man had suffered gunshot wounds on their left and right foot, respectively. Both were treated at the local hospital.

Initial investigations revealed that the two detainees entered the parking lot armed with pistols and during a row involving several passersby shot several times, wounding two people.

During the search, two pistols were found and seized, both with deleted serial numbers believed to have been used by suspects.

On May 14th, the Pre-emptive Investigations Judge confirmed the two arrests and ordered their detention -- the measure that has remained in force even currently -- as the prosecution follows investigations to reveal the causes of this armed attack.
