The robber who last night shot a security guard during an attempted robbery in an apartment in the northern area of Rome is dead. The situation of the security guard, 62, is therefore worsening and is now under investigation for murder.
According to what has been reconstructed so far, the security guard fired a series of shots and one of the bullets hit a 24-year-old Romanian citizen in the head .
The gang had climbed from the balcony and entered the house on the first floor - where there was a woman - looking for money, jewelry and silverware .
There were four of them and they were committing a robbery in the house of a woman who lives alone in a condominium on Via Cassia. They had entered the house and were trying to break into the safe with burglary tools, but the noises made the residents suspicious, especially the security guard who at that moment was returning home and was in the courtyard .
Two of the four robbers attempted to escape from the balcony, the others from the stairs. The security guard attempted to stop them by firing several gunshots, one of which hit the 24-year-old Romanian , as he was climbing over a gate to escape. The thief, after a night in hospital, died. It also appears that during the escape in the car, the accomplices, who disappeared, attempted to run over the security guard .
