Two arrests for attempted murder following the serious injury of a young man, struck in the face by pellets from a .22-caliber rifle yesterday afternoon in Giliacquas, Elmas.
On Via Bassi, 25-year-old Mattia Secci, from Pirri, was struck in the head by a gunshot and is hospitalized in intensive care at Brotzu Hospital, with a critical prognosis. Carabinieri arrested Giorgio Argiolas, 26, who allegedly fired the gun while claiming to be defending his younger brother from an alleged punitive raid, and Simone Lippi, 24, from Cagliari, who was driving the SUV in which Secci was also traveling.
The cause of the accident was reportedly an argument over a girl that had occurred the previous night. A cousin of the Argiolas family was reportedly hit by a car and suffered a head injury.
Both arrested men, represented by lawyers Luca Sanio and Antonella Giua Marassi, were transferred to Uta prison after the usual formalities. The investigation, coordinated by prosecutor Emanuele Secci, is in its initial stages and could reveal further developments.
