These are hours of anguish and apprehension in Asso, in the Como area, for the lieutenant Doriano Furceri, who was wounded by gunshots fired by a brigadier on duty in the same barracks, Antonio Milia, fifty years old.
The man then barricaded himself in the station which was surrounded by the military and also by special forces.
Some witnesses heard him exclaim: "I killed him" but there is no official confirmation of the lieutenant's death.
At least three shots fired towards the non-commissioned officer: who was in the barracks at that moment distinctly heard a shot, then the groans of the wounded man and then at least two more shots.
