A man living in Torre di Mosto (Venice) attempted to kill his ex-wife using a crossbow, then took his own life in the garage of his home.
The alarm was raised in the early afternoon today.
According to an initial reconstruction by the police,
the man would have hit the woman while she was inside her car in the city center, with a regularly detained crossbow.
Convinced that he had killed her, he would then head home, and use the same throwing weapon to kill himself.
The woman, rescued by Suem, is in serious condition.
Investigations by the Carabinieri.
