A 47-year-old lawyer is under
investigation for alleged "culpable excess of legitimate
defence" after shooting dead a member of a gang burgling his
father's home in Latina, south of Rome, on Sunday, sources said
Monday.
Francesco Palumbo was allowed to go home late on Sunday after
hours of questioning at the local police station.
He has been charged with voluntary manslaughter, judicial
sources said Monday evening.
Palumbo reportedly shot several times at the gang and hit the
dead man twice in the back.
