Shots were fired at a well
known pastry shop in the Sanità district of Naples on Thursday
morning while children were walking to school.
No one was reported hurt in the incident outside Poppella in
Via Arena 24.
One of the shots hit a mobile display case for warming
pastries on the pavement outside.
Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris described the incident as
"unacceptable, serious and unheard of" and called on the State
to intervene.
"The forces of law and order need to be reinforced," he said.
The Sanità district north of the city centre has long been
characterised by poverty, unemployment and the widespread
presence of the Neapolitan Camorra mafia.
