Police chief Franco Gabrielli on
Tuesday said that Italian police officers will soon be armed
with stun guns to offer them and the public more protection.
"Soon police officers will carry Taser electronic guns so
that they will be able to act more safely and will not cause
excessive damage to people during certain operations", Gabrielli
said, leaving a hospital in San Marino where two police officers
are currently being treated.
The two officers were injured on Sunday when one of them shot
and killed a young man who was stabbing his colleague.
