He was " exasperated by the drought ." Enough to shoot at eye level in the square of the Central Sardinia Reclamation Consortium, in Siniscola. Giovanni Bomboi , in front of the Nuoro prosecutor Ireno Satta who questioned him, admitted his guilt. A farmer and opposition municipal councilor , he opened fire yesterday morning against the organisation's headquarters .

The spark was apparently set by the water restrictions imposed by an ordinance from the mayor to deal with drought. The day before the shooting Bomboi had been caught by some operators of the Consortium while he was irrigating the fields despite the ban. Result? Sealed water meter .

The following day the man showed up at the CBSC headquarters for clarification. But once on site he began shooting with a gun he had brought with him: in the general stampede there were no injuries although some parked vehicles were damaged .

The councilor then fled, only to turn himself in at the Siniscola police station in the evening. Hence the transfer to the police station in Nuoro for the interrogation. At the pm, Bomboi reiterated his exasperation at the water restrictions that do not allow him to irrigate the fields and water the animals. He also allowed the investigators to find the weapon used, a small caliber semi-automatic pistol. The man is now locked up in Badu' and Carros prison on charges of attempted murder. In the next few days the hearing before the investigating judge for validation.
