Armed ex soldier barricaded at home: fear in Friuli

Hours of fear in Cordovado, in the province of Pordenone, where a man - a 50-year-old ex-military - barricaded himself in the house with a gun.

Before locking himself in the house he would have walked around the country shirtless brandishing the weapon.

On the spot carabinieri, firefighters, ambulance and civil protection.

Residents in the area were evacuated as a precaution.
