Man killed by gunfire in Naples, on sidelines of league title celebrations

The huge party that has accompanied the third Scudetto in club history since Thursday evening was tarnished by a tragedy in Naples. A 26-year-old man died overnight from Thursday to Friday, after being injured by shots fired on the sidelines of the celebrations, according to Italian media. Three other people were injured in the gunshots. It is not yet known if these were drawn to celebrate the victory of Napoli or if they were part of a criminal activity, indicates the daily Il Corriere della Sera.

After the announcement of the death of the young Neapolitan, some of his relatives caused material damage to the emergency department of the Cardarelli hospital where he had been admitted to treat his serious injuries. According to the daily La Stampa, the victim is linked to a clan of the Neapolitan mafia. The police have opened an investigation to determine under what conditions these shots were fired in the historic center of the southern metropolis.

During the explosion of joy that invaded the city after Napoli’s draw (1-1) on the lawn of Udinese on Thursday evening, a total of 203 people presented themselves to the emergency rooms of Naples hospitals for injuries or discomfort, according to La Stampa. And this in particular after having suffered stab wounds, lesions caused by explosions of firecrackers, falls, panic attacks or even asthma attacks caused by the inhalation of smoke bombs.
