Shooting in Ardea, the father of the killed children: “Why did they leave the weapon to him?”

He still had the weapon of his father, a former security guard, with that he shot killing two children and a man. Andrea Pignani, 35, from Rome, a computer engineer with a bachelor’s degree, unemployed, lived in Ardea with his mother. His father Stefano died last fall and his son had never returned the Beretta 7.65 supplied to the vigilantes.

With the weapon he killed two brothers: Daniel, 10, and David, 5. They were in a park near their house with their bikes and scooters. “The children died holding their father’s hand”, said the grandmother saying that the rescue was slow.

The oldest played football. He was the goalkeeper of the Ostiamare Pulcini.

Domenico Fusinato, Daniel and David’s dad, called for help and was close to the children. There would be no apparent reason for the killing of the children. The father said he did not know the man who shot him and did not have an argument with him as had been assumed. “I have to stay under house arrest for a bit of drugs and they made that madman turn him around with a gun,” continued the children’s father. The question arises from many: “Why did they leave the weapon to him?”

The man who shot him had been subjected to Mandatory medical treatment for attacking the mother. He was not being treated for mental problems. He never went out according to the carabinieri, but neighbors say he often pulled out his gun to threaten people for any discussion.

However, there are no complaints even if Romano Catini, the president of the area, says that internal surveillance had alerted the police. The mayor Mario Savarese tells us: «We would have moved the social services, our deputy mayor is a psychologist and knows what to do ».

Salvatore Ranieri, 74, also hit and killed in the head. The retiree knew neither the man nor the children. «He insisted until the end to come here to spend the weekend from Rome», his wife said, «I told him: sorry, Salvatore, it has been raining all week, what are we going to do in the house by the sea? But he had also bought I don’t know how much paint because he wanted to give the house a coat of white … ». When he saw Andrea Pignani point the gun at the two children in the Ardea garden, he intervened. He was immediately shot in the head.

His wife remembers him like this: “He was so generous. He liked to do a thousand jobs for the people of the district, if there was a tile, a tap to fix, the neighbors called him and he immediately ran. It’s not fair what they did to him, he just didn’t deserve it. “
