A series of drive-by shootings apparently targeting foreigners left six people wounded, one critically, in Macerata, Italy, on Saturday. All six victims are African migrants.
Local police have arrested an Italian man identified as Luca Traini, 28, who was photographed with an Italian flag draped across his shoulders as he was taken into custody for the attacks. Traini has no previous record, and he unsuccessfully ran for local office with an anti-migrant party in 2017.
