Disbelief, anger, outrage over 17-year-old shot by police

(ANSA) - Naples, September 5 - Family, friends and neighbors of Davide Bifolco, the 17-year-old shot dead by police after running a roadblock Thursday night, were shocked and outraged over his death.
    "I'm ashamed to be an Italian. Now the State, who is going to apologize to us for what happened?" said Bifolco's brother Tommaso.
    "Around here we see a lot of deaths but last night an entire neighborhood came out into the streets and you know why? Because it wasn't a mobster that got killed but an innocent boy," said Tommaso Bifolco.
    A woman who gave her name as Annalisa was among those who came out to protest the shooting, and said there were around a hundred others with her.
    "What happened is shameful. The police should defend us and instead they killed an innocent boy. Here in the Traiano neighborhood, we don't want the police anymore," Annalisa said.
    Davide Bifolco's mother, Flora, said that she saw her son just minutes before he was fatally shot, when he returned home to ask for some headgear because he was cold.
    "Now, if he's brave enough, that police officer has to kill me too, because he killed my son Davide," said Bifolco's mother.
    Naples mayor Luigi de Magistris expressed his condolences to the family and said he hoped that "already within the next few hours, we might have a clearer picture of the sequence of events".
