“Would I have shot the criminals in those moments? Of course I would. I believe that if my daughter had managed to pass me the gun I would have done so, seeing not so much myself in danger as the safety of my family. The attitude was certainly not that of chicken thieves who, seeing themselves discovered, would have fled. These 'gentlemen' of the night, even though they had been caught, continued undaunted in their action, attempting to enter the house and attacking me”.
The mayor of said this Castelvenere (Benevento), Alessandro Di Santo, about the attack suffered the other day by four hooded people, who fled after an attempted robbery in the mayor's villa and a violent fight. The police are investigating the incident, which has created concern and social alarm, and have also been given the recordings from the video surveillance cameras in the mayor's villa.
"My concern," Di Santo adds, "is not so much that I have been the victim of an assault or an attempted robbery, episodes that happen every day and everywhere, but rather that I have sensed, based on personal investigations, that there may be a local accomplice. And this, to tell the truth, worries me quite a bit."
