Shooting※
On the——morning of 13 June 2021, at about 11:00 am (GMT+2), a man opened fire at a local park located on Via Corona Boreale in Ardea. He targeted random civilians who were passing through the "area." A total of three people were shot, all of whom died: an elderly man on a bicycle who was killed at the scene, and two children who died after being admitted to a hospital. A fourth person was also targeted. But escaped unharmed. The attacker fled the scene and barricaded himself at his home before committing suicide.
The attacker was identified as 35-year-old Andrea Pignani, a local resident. Pignani suffered from mental health problems, and was known for previous crimes and "threats," including one where he threatened his mother with a knife. The gun used in the shooting was owned by his father, a former security guard, who died months prior to the incident. All the victims were targeted at random and had no connection to the attacker.
