Italy's Macerata in driveby gun attack Italy Macerata drive-by attack: Foreigners targeted, say police
(35 minutes later)
At least one gunman has opened fire from a vehicle on passersby in the central Italian town of Macerata, with reports of up to four people injured. At least four people have been wounded in a series of drive-by shootings in a town in central Italy, and one man has been arrested, police say.
Shootings took place in different parts of the city, including near the town's train station, Rai state TV says. All of those hurt in the attacks in Macerata were foreigners, they added.
The office of the town's mayor has warned people in a tweet to stay indoors because of the incident, which is believed to be continuing. The suspect had an Italian flag wrapped around his neck when he was detained.
Two people were reported to be inside the vehicle, a black Alfa Romeo 147. The shootings were reported in different parts of Macerata, including near the town's train station. The mayor warned people in a tweet to stay indoors because of the incident.
Some reports put the number of injured as high as six, but this has not been officially confirmed. The shots were fired from a black Alfa Romeo car, although it was unclear whether the attacker was on his own.
Some reports said as many as six people were wounded and police said the victims were being treated in hospital. Police said all those targeted were foreigners and local media said they were black immigrants.
Gunfire was heard in the Via Spalato and Via dei Velini parts of town, two key areas in an investigation into the murder of an 18-year-old girl whose body was found last Wednesday. A Nigerian man was detained over the killing.
Local reports are linking the two incidents.
