A Moroccan citizen was shot dead by
police near the northern city of Vicenza after grabbing a
Carabinieri officer's gun and shooting and wounding a traffic
cop after police were called after the man was reported to be
"running wild" in the street shouting God is Great, local
sources said.
The incident took place at Fara Vicentino.
The man was reported to have been screaming "Allahu Akbar" in a
threatening way, out of control.
A scuffle ensued after police and traffic officers moved to stop
him, as he grabbed a Carabiniere's pistol and shot the traffic
warden before Carabinieri shot him dead.
