The sound of a gunshot was heard by many people, in the early hours of this afternoon, in the historic center of Siena. A gunshot that killed a 31-year-old woman of Colombian origin: a bullet that, according to an initial reconstruction, was fired by mistake by one of the family members who was in the apartment at the time. It seems to have been a fatal error while the weapon was being handled by her partner and another relative.
The bullet apparently hit the woman's head and the rescuers' intervention was in vain. The medical staff tried to revive the 31-year-old but her injuries were too serious.
It was the neighbors, in the main street of Strada del Villino, who raised the alarm after the shooting at about 3:30 p.m. For several hours, the house, where the family of South American origin lives, has been under investigation by the forensic police.
The victim's partner was taken to the police station to be questioned and to try to eliminate any other investigative hypothesis regarding the accidental act. As always happens in these cases, the weapon was seized in order to be analyzed and to make comparisons between the trajectory of the shot that killed the woman and the accounts of the two men. Versions that in the next few hours could be confirmed or not after the work of the forensic police in the apartment.
