Struggle between life and death, but she survived the night, the 18-year-old wounded yesterday evening with two gunshots to the chest by her partner, a 21-year-old young man who later committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
The incident took place yesterday evening in an apartment in Cassano delle Murge, a town in the Bari hinterland where the couple lived with their very young daughter.
At the time of the tragedy, her little girl was not at home, because she was with her maternal grandparents.
The young woman, initially hospitalized in the Acquaviva delle Fonti hospital and then urgently transferred to the Bari Polyclinic, was operated on in the thoracic surgery department.
She is hospitalized subject to prognosis and it is too early to tell if she will be able to get away with it.
The neighbors who first heard the screams coming from the house and then the gunshots called for help.
The investigations are entrusted to the Compagnia dei Carabinieri of Altamura.
The investigators maintain the utmost secrecy on the incident.
