At least six people have been
wounded in a series of drive-by shootings in a town in central Italy, and one
man has been arrested, police say. All of those hurt in the attacks in Macerata
were foreigners, they said. The suspect had an Italian flag wrapped around his
neck when he was detained, amid indications that the attack may have been
racially motivated.
The mayor warned people to stay
indoors because of the incident, with shootings reported across different
locations. The victims are being treated in hospital. At least one of them is
said to be in a serious condition. Police said all those targeted were
foreigners and local media said they were black immigrants.
The shooting began at 11:00 local
time (10:00 GMT), La Repubblica website reports, and the gunman was captured
two hours later, after fleeing the car - a black Alfa Romeo - on foot near the
town's war memorial.
