Drama this morning in Naples , where an armed man barricaded himself in the house. From the window of his home, on the fourth floor of via Raffaele Testa in the San Giovanni a Teduccio district, he also started shooting the gun , shouting disjointed phrases including "I killed her", evidently referring to his wife.

The immediate intervention of the police forces on site, who cordoned off the area, and of the first intervention operational units. Then the break-in into the apartment, which however revealed the most tragic epilogue: the man had already killed himself, and was found dead next to his wife's body.

Deep condolences in the city: the couple had three children , two minors who were regularly at school this morning and unaware of what happened, and another adult son currently on an educational trip abroad.

The dynamics of what happened and any motivations behind the crazy gesture are yet to be reconstructed . The man is a former security guard who was injured in the leg while working and who was then transferred to the office because he was no longer fit for active duty.
