There was tension between police
and mourners at the funeral in Naples Monday of a 15-year-old
boy shot dead after trying to rob a Carabiniere last week.
Ugo Russo tried to stick up the cop using a toy gun and the
off-duty officer shot him dead not knowing it was a toy.
Police stopped the funeral cortege due to new rules banning
public assemblies due to the coronavirus, and the mourners
reacted violently.
Naples Archbishop Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe has suspended all
ceremonies due to the virus and the government's instructions on
it.
