Pescara Mayor Carlo Masci said Tuesday
that the Adriatic city was deeply "disturbed" after one person
was killed and another was critically injured in a hit in a bar
there on Monday.
A 66-year-old architect was shot dead and 48-year-old former
soccer player with a criminal record was taken to hospital with
serious injuries after being hit by a person who walked into the
bar with their face covered by a helmet and opened fire.
The killer managed to get away on a scooter, mingling with
people returning from a day at the beach.
"A wicked crime like this is not part of the culture of the
people of Pescara," Masci said outside the bar where the hit
took place.
"This violence is not in the DNA of our city and so this episode
disturbs us incredibly.
"A clear, strong response is needed from the territorial bodies
of the State because the citizens are asking for this".
