A man was shot dead by
Carabinieri police overnight after stealing a car and hitting an
officer while trying to escape, ANSA sources said on Tuesday.
The incident took place in the town of Gallarate, near the
northern city of Varese, the sources said. The dead man, a
40-year-old Italian, was one of two people aboard a Fiat Panda
that was stolen on Monday. Carabinieri identified the stolen car
and, when police flagged it down to stop, one was hit by the
vehicle, prompting another officer opened fire.
