Naples, July 30 - A disgruntled postal worker was arrested after allegedly shooting his boss three times at a post office in the town of Torre del Greco near Naples Monday morning.

According to witnesses, a man fired three shots inside the post office on the central Via Vittorio Veneto before fleeing.

Police gave chase and several hours later arrested Cristofaro Gaglione, 59.

Reports suggest the pistol used to shoot the female director of the post office, who was hit in the throat and chest, was legally owned.

Gaglione had reportedly argued with his supervisor over a job transfer.

Anna Iozzino, who is in serious condition and has undergone emergency surgery, was reportedly shot before terrified colleagues during a morning meeting.

I bet he was a floater who had been bumped off his walk by the duty holder working his day off.
I presume they have mitigating circumstances under Italian law.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Is their use of the term 'before' not being used as in 'in front of?'
