Neighbors have assured RAI that they know the attacker, who they describe as “closed” and “reserved”and was apparently at odds with the community, which he had threatened in the past.

They were the ones who raised the alarm, immediately calling for help, who sent the police and four ambulances to the scene.

Gualtieri has called a meeting of the commission for public order and safety for tomorrow.
