Shots fired in Milan courthouse, killing judge

MILAN (AP) — A man opened fire in Milan's courthouse Thursday, killing a bankruptcy judge and reportedly hitting at least one other person, Italy's ANSA news agency said.

ANSA quoted the president of the appeals court, Giovanni Canzio, as identifying the slain judge as Fernando Ciampi.

Sky TG24 reported that two people were killed, and that the gunman was barricaded in an upper-floor room.

The building was being evacuated, and women were seen leaving first. Men left later, after having their identification checked.

Police were posted at all exits.

ANSA and other news outlets said the man suspected of the shooting was in the courthouse for a bankruptcy proceeding.

It was unclear how the gunman gained entrance, as visitors to the building have to pass through metal detectors.

"MILAN (AP) - Prosecutors say the man who gunned down three people in Milan's courthouse fired at least 13 shots during the spree and had two spare cartridges for his weapon, indicating he acted with "cold premeditation."

"Prosecutor Tommaso Buonanno of Brescia is conducting the investigation into Thursday's shooting. At a press conference he cited the carnage and the fact that Claudio Giardiello first fired on his lawyer and two co-defendants, then walked downstairs and shot an acquaintance and finally a judge, as evidence that he had planned the spree."

He was upset a tad then!

it would seem so

Metal detectors at the entrance?

Was hiding in the court house for an hour after the deed?

Fled the scene on a motorbike?

Really? And not in Thailand?
