Francesca Delmastro says speechless over Pozzolo gun case

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 2 - Francesca Delmastro, Rosazza Mayor and sister of justice undersecretary Andrea Delmastro, said Tuesday the accidental injury of a man with a shot fired from a gun owned by Brothers of Italy (FdI) lawmaker Emanuele Pozzolo after a new year's eve party she had organised had left her "speechless".
    "I am stunned, speechless, I consider what happened to be absolutely incredible," she told Sky TG24.
    "I couldn't never have imagined such a thing," continued Delmastro.
    "My brother has told me he wasn't there, I had already left, the party was over," she insisted.
    Investigators say the incident in which the 31-year-old son-in-law of a member of Andrea Delmastro's security detail was shot in the leg occurred around 1.30 am local town.
    Pozzolo, who had not been at the party also attended by the justice undersecretary but dropped by after midnight, denies firing the gun. (ANSA).
