Shots, fortunately in the air, in the historic center of Sassari . In the early afternoon a young man began to fire some shots towards the sky in via Mercato .
The residents, alerted and frightened by what was happening, called the police and the Carabinieri intervened on the spot with several soldiers and a van of the Arma. Together with them also some agents of the State Police.
Stopping the young man, from Sassari, was complex also because, according to an initial reconstruction, he is suffering from mental distress . In the end, the man was stripped of his weapon, which is not known at the moment whether it was a blank gun or not. The person was taken to the barracks by the Carabinieri. No injuries were reported.
