A man holed up in his fifth-floor
flat on the outskirts of Turin and threatened to start shooting
Thursday.
The man, reportedly of Calabrian origin, said he was being
persecuted and shouted from the balcony barely intelligible
phrases against the mafia, demanding to see journalists.
The man piled up chairs, tables and other pieces of furniture
against the flat's door.
He broadcast the scene on Facebook, showing a handgun on his
bed.
