Pier Paola Romano she was killed as she was leaving the entrance hall of the building where she lived, in via Rosario Nicolò, in the Torraccia area. Massimiliano Carpineti, the colleague who killed her with the same service pistol with which he would later commit suicide a short distance away, waited for her and fired three shots at close range to the face and torso. Dead on the spot, she collapsed onto her legs, falling backwards face up.
The two had a relationship described as 'solid and solid' by those who knew them. There would have been no sign of alarm in the behavior of the two policemen for the murder-suicide whose motives are still unknown.
Il Torraccia San Basilio district, Roma, where this morning a policewoman was murdered by a colleague who then took his own life nearby, is in shock. An area described as quiet, inhabited mainly by the police, according to what residents and shopkeepers say.
Pierpaola Romano, hit by multiple gunshots to the face in the entrance hall of the building where she lived, in via Rosario Nicolo', was 58 years old and worked in the House of Representatives. She was killed by Massimiliano Carpineti, also a policeman, who committed suicide shortly after in via Tamassia. He was originally from Cori, but resided in Tank, in the province of Latina.
Massimiliano Carpineti, a 45-year-old from Cisterna di Latina, killed himself by shooting himself under the chin and then slumping forward, sitting at the wheel of his Chevrolet parked in via Nino Tamassia, 300 meters ahead of the building where at 11.25:13 he had killed his colleague Pier Paola Romano, XNUMX years older than him, with three bullets.
Not a note, not a message explaining the reasons for his crazy act. The man, who fired his service pistol, had taken a few days off and was not on duty.
A witness: “I saw her on the ground, a gunshot to the back of the head”
'I heard three shots in quick succession, I thought it was an act of intimidation, maybe an insult after last night's game. Then I heard people shouting and I went downstairs and with a friend who was already in the entrance hall I saw the woman on the ground, now lifeless, with a gunshot wound to the back of the head.
The position of the body was strange, the knees bent, the face up. He had some ASL papers in his hand, the shoulder bag was closed, the cell phone on the ground”. This was reported by a witness, a neighbor of the woman killed this morning in the Torraccia area and also a former policeman, retired for 4 months.
“In my opinion, the man who shot her was hiding in the entrance hall,” he added, “he shot her from behind as she was coming out into the street and only then did he get into his car, screeching to escape.”
