As many as four people are reported
to have lost their lives after a man opened fire at the Palace of
Justice in the Italian city of Milan before being arrested. BBC was there:
Officials said the gunman, identified by local media as Claudio Giardiello, was a defendant in a bankruptcy case.
The Ansa news agency said he shot a bankruptcy court judge, a lawyer and one other man. The fourth person is thought to have had a heart attack.
The suspect was arrested in the suburb of Vimercate as he fled on a motorbike.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said the “presumed assassin” was now being held at a carabinieri military police barracks in the Milan area.
The incident has prompted questions about security at the courthouse, focusing on how the gunman managed to smuggle a weapon into the building, use it several times and escape.
