An “Allahu Akhbar” Moment in Vicenza

Yesterday in the province of Vicenza in northern Italy a mentally ill culture-enricher from Morocco, presumably traumatized by having to live among infidels, went on a rampage and shot a police officer while shouting “Allahu Akhbar”. I know readers will be saddened to learn that the youngster did not survive the incident. He was shot dead by an officer of the Carabinieri, who is probably a WAYCIST.

Weapon taken from a Carabiniero. Wounded officer has lung surgery.

April 24, 2023

Fear in Fara Vicentino, in the province of Vicenza. A Moroccan citizen was killed in a firefight with the Carabinieri after shooting at a local police officer, wounding him with the pistol taken from one of the two Carabinieri who arrived at the scene. It happened this morning. According to an initial reconstruction, the man, out of his mind, reportedly went into a rage in the street and managed to take the weapon from one of the two Carabinieri who intervened, firing at a police officer who arrived to help his colleagues: Reportedly, the other Carabiniero shot him dead at this point.

The non-EU citizen was walking barefoot in a confused state then allegedly went into a rage, shouting in the street. A Moroccan immigrant who was passing by reportedly heard him shouting insults in Arabic. According to what Corriere della Sera is reporting, the man allegedly also uttered the phrase “Allahu Akhbar”, God is greater. When the police intervened, the man reportedly took the service pistol from a Carabiniero, firing several rounds, two of which hit one of the local police. The Carabiniero who still possessed his weapon then shot and killed the suspect.

The 40-year-old local police officer involved in the shootout this morning was hit by two projectiles, one in the right foot and one in the left side which caused a lung to collapse. He was operated on at the Alto Vicentino Hospital of Santorso, a lung drainage was applied, and at this time a second lung CT scan is in progress. The prognosis is guarded, but should not be life-threatening.
