Naples – A gunshot that shatters the silence of the night Ponticelli And a story to piece together. A 40-year-old man, a familiar face to law enforcement, ended up in the emergency room after a mysterious ambush in Ponticelli, on the eastern outskirts of Naples.
His version? An attempted robbery to steal a gold necklace, which ended in tragedy. But is it the truth, or just a cover-up? The Flying Squad is working to verify the man's story.
The call to 113 came in during the night, directly from Villa Betania Hospital. A man, wounded by a bullet, had arrived on his own or with the help of acquaintances, seeking medical attention. Paramedics alerted the police, standard procedure for a case like this.
Waiting for the officers was a man with a bullet in his body and a ready-made story.

The motive would have been banal: a cowardly attempt to tear a gold necklace from his neck. The man would have reacted, perhaps a gesture of pride or an instinctive refusal, and at that moment the stranger would have fired, hitting him, before fleeing without completing the attack. theft.
A dynamic that, on paper, appears straightforward. Yet, at the police headquarters, the reconstruction isn't entirely convincing. Too many questions remain. Why would a robber shoot for a necklace, exposing himself to the risk of murder, without even taking home the loot? Why would the victim, despite his previous convictions, resist so vehemently over an object of modest value?
The victim was treated and released from the hospital with a 15-day prognosis: a wound that will give him time to reflect, while the investigators begin the hardest work.
The investigation, coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office, is now comprehensive. CCTV cameras in the area are being checked to see if anyone or anything confirms the 40-year-old's story. Witnesses are being sought, even though the dead of night in neighborhoods like Ponticelli often leaves eyes unattended. And, above all, they are trying to determine whether the bullet was fired as a result of petty crime or if it stems from something more dangerous.

I agree with Gerardo71, it's hard to believe someone would shoot for such a worthless object. I hope the police can solve the case and uncover the truth behind this event.
It's a truly strange situation; it's unclear why a necklace is worth a gunshot. The investigation should clarify everything, but there are too many unanswered questions in this story.
