Five people were hurt in an ambush
near Naples Wednesday night believed to have been carried out by
the local Camorra mafia, local sources said Thursday.
Camorrista Salvatore Petrillo, who turns 29 shortly, was the
main target and most seriously injured and is now fighting for
his life in a Naples hospital.
Also fighting for his life is Pio Vincenzo Merolla, 18.
The hitmen struck outside a bar at Arzano.
Injured but not in a life-threatening condition are Luigi
Casola, 39, shot in the leg; and Roberto Lastra, 36; who does
not have a criminal record but is believed to have been among
the targets of the hit.
The hit is believed to have been part of a turf war between
rival Camorra clans.
Innocent bystander Mario Abate, 61, was hit in the foot while
having a coffee at the bar and is in a Pozzuoli hospital.
