According to Rome police, a guy shot three women dead and four other people in a possible housing dispute on Sunday.
Later on Sunday, Giorgia Meloni, the far-right prime minister of Italy, disclosed in a Facebook post that one of the fatalities was a friend.
Claudio Campi, 57, the suspected shooter, is accused of using a Glock handgun that was taken from a shooting stand to open fire on a gathering of the tenants of his apartment building in a northern Rome neighborhood.
He described his contentious relationship with the building’s managers in a blog post from November, accusing them of attempting to evict him from his accommodations.
One of the three ladies who passed away from their injuries was 50-year-old mother of a 10-year-old kid Nicoletta Golisano, who was present at the meeting in her capacity as treasurer.
On Facebook, Meloni revealed their friendship and paid respect to the “strong and vulnerable woman” who was also “a protective mother, a true and discreet friend.”
She stated that the murderer had been apprehended and expressed her hope that “justice will swiftly follow its course.”
