A 50-year-old man accused of double
murder in the northern city of San Candido, in Alto Adige, shot
himself while special police forces were breaking into his
apartment, investigative sources said Sunday.
He is reportedly in serious condition.
The man first shot at Carabinieri police's GIS special forces
who had entered the apartment and then shot himself in the
throat, the sources said.
GIS forces broke into the apartment in which he had barricaded
himself after allegedly killing a woman and the father.
In the apartment, officers found the lifeless body of the man's
90-year-old dad.
The murder is believed to have been committed at around
midnight.
The identity of the woman has not been released.
She lived in the apartment building where the murders were
committed.
