(ANSA) - Catania, March 31 - A 46-year-old father was shot and fatally wounded, allegedly by a 19-year-old man, Tuesday as a dispute between love-crossed teenagers spilled over to their families, police said.
    The alleged gunman, identified only as A.M., was arrested after the shooting in the popular Librino district of the port city of Catania.
    The dead man was identified as Giovanni Di Bella, who was fatally wounded with a pistol shot to the chest.
    Police allege the assailant was the elder brother of a 13-year-old in competition with Di Bella's 14-year-old son for the heart of a local teenage girl.
    Prosecutor Giovanni Salvi said the shooting was "linked to personal motives" but also "linked indirectly to organised crime".
