Firefighters on Monday
discovered the body of one of three men that went missing on
Sunday following an explosion at a shooting range in the
northern town of Portomaggiore in Ferrara province.
The two owners and the treasurer of the range are being
investigated for negligence and manslaughter.
The missing men were named as Lorenzo Chiccoli, 73; Paolo
Masieri, 47; and Maurizio Nero, 66.
Authorities said a gas leak may have led to the explosion,
possibly set off by a spark from a gun used at the shooting
range. Investigators suspect the three men were unable to escape
following the explosion.
