Italian far-right gunman kills two in Florence
(AFP) – 3 hours ago
ROME — An Italian far-right militant Tuesday killed two Senegalese vendors and wounded three people in a shooting spree in broad daylight in Florence after which he was found shot dead, media reported.
Eyewitnesses said they saw the man calmly getting out of a car at a street market on Piazza Dalmazia, north of the historic city centre, and firing off three shots that killed two vendors on the spot and gravely wounded a third.
The middle-aged white man, named as Gianluca Casseri by Corriere della Sera daily, then moved to a market in the centre where he wounded two more people.
Casseri was then shot dead, the reports said, although it was not immediately clear if he shot himself or was shot by police.
The reports said Casseri, a published author from the city of Pistoia in the Tuscany region, was using a large Magnum revolver handgun.
Around 200 Senegalese street vendors protested in the city centre after the shootings, crying and shouting "Shame! Shame!" and "Racists!" The vendors knocked over mopeds, rubbish bins and street signs in anger.
"I heard the shots but I thought they were fireworks. Then I turned around and I saw three men on the ground in blood," a street vendor was quoted by La Repubblica as saying at the scene of the Piazza Dalmazia shooting.
Another man said: "There are often Senegalese guys here who sell the usual stuff, they don't bother anyone and no-one was expecting this."
African vendors can often be seen on the streets of Italy's main cities selling African sculptures, trinkets and fake designer handbags.

There was a gun and grenade attack in Belgium today as well, although that one was apolitical.

It is a sad state of affairs when the far right feel comfortable enough to carry out such attacks in broad daylight.

And yet the governments never seem to crack down on extreme right violence.

I thought no conclusion has came from the incident in Belgium yet?

This has been a bad day for the world, such monsters. R.I.P to all those murdered, and thoughts with friends, families and those who have suffered as a result.

I don't think they have found any conclusion yet, but from what I've read about the incident, it looks more like a grudge he held rather than anything based on any sort of political belief.

The guy in Belgium was a sociopath with a weapons obsession, he was convicted of sexual assault before and was supposed to be questioned again about new allegations that day.
Seems like he lured in the cleaning lady from the neighbours and killed her earlier that day so he probably saw the writing on the wall about ending up in prison this time for life and decided to go out in a blaze.

Altough, a few years ago, we had a far-right gunman who shot a muslim woman and shot and killed a black women and the white child she was babysitting.
But that had nothing to do with this incident
