The man who barricaded himself in his house in Naples, in the San Giovanni a Teduccio district, killed his wife and, according to the most probable hypothesis, then committed suicide.
The woman, in fact, was found lifeless by the police who raided the apartment.
Next to her is the body of her husband, who probably committed suicide.
Before barricading himself in the house
he shot from the balcony of his home
and then locked himself away.
According to what some neighbors reported, the man previously
worked as a security guard but then lost his job perhaps following the attempted theft of his gun
during which he was also injured.
According to what we learn,
he has three children,
two of whom were at school this morning, the third on a class trip.
It is not yet clear whether the man's wife is inside the house or not.
