A Moroccan national was killed, after stealing the weapon of a carabiniere and wounding a local policeman in Fara Vicentina, a small town in the province of Vicenza in the Veneto Region.
According to the Italian press, the shooting took place this Monday morning, around 11 am.
The police had been summoned by citizens alarmed by the presence of the foreign national, who seemed “altered and violently out of control.”
Local police and carabinieri arrived at the scene and tried to bring the man to his senses, without success. It was then that the police attempted to arrest him.
According to the Italian press, a violent fight ensued, during which the Moroccan man managed to delicately remove the service pistol of one of the policemen from its holster.
He then started shooting, hitting one of the local policemen, a 40-year-old man who is currently hospitalized in San Bortolo di Vicenza, but whose life is not currently in danger.
When the foreigner started shooting, the carabinieri were forced to return fire, hitting the Moroccan, who died in the intervention.
