(ANSA) - Turin, October 10 - Italian police on Tuesday cited
four youths who allegedly hurt five passers-by in Turin
September 25 by shooting large needles at them with a nail gun
from a car. They allegedly hit the five victims, one in the back
of the neck, after choosing them as random targets in the area
between Piazza Rivoli and Corso Lecce, police said. The shots
were fired from a Toyota Yaris and a Porsche Cayenne, police
said. Police seized in the homes of those cited a number of
darts and cartoon figures they presumably used for target
practice. One of the victims was reportedly a doctor who
specialised in acupuncture. Police said the youths, who were not
named, were bored and looking for kicks.
