The shooting continues in the Spanish Quarter. The trail of shots fired overnight seems to confirm the growing tension between the factions of young bosses who have been trying to assert their dominance in the area for weeks, turning the streets off Via Toledo into an open-air battlefield.
Last night, residents reported gunfire in the street, yet another episode in a long series of "stese" (shootings) staged by rival gangs. Officers from the Montecalvario police station intervened, reaching Vico Lungo San Matteo. A 9mm shell casing was recovered and seized from the pavement, the only evidence left by the gunmen.
No injuries or property damage were reported, but the incident confirms the climate of terror that reigns in the streets.
