At least four people have been wounded in a series of drive-by shootings in a town in central Italy, and one man has been arrested, police say.

All of those hurt in the attacks in Macerata were foreigners, they added.

The suspect had an Italian flag wrapped around his neck when he was detained.

The shootings were reported in different parts of Macerata, including near the town's train station. The mayor warned people to stay indoors because of the incident.

The shots were fired from a black Alfa Romeo car, although it was unclear whether the attacker was on his own.

Some reports said as many as six people were wounded and police said the victims were being treated in hospital. At least one of them is said to be in a critical condition.

Police said all those targeted were foreigners and local media said they were black immigrants.

The shooting began at 1100 local time (1000 GMT), La Repubblica website reports, and the gunman was captured two hours later, after fleeing the car on foot near the town's war memorial.

Video of the moment he was apprehended was published by local website, Il Resto del Carlino, showing a bald man draped in an Italian tricolour being escorted away by police.

The suspect, a 28-year-old local, made a fascist salute when he was captured, Ansa news agency reported.

Shots were fired in the Via Spalato and Via dei Velini parts of town, two key areas in an investigation into the murder of an 18-year-old girl whose body was found dismembered and hidden in two suitcases last Wednesday. A Nigerian man was detained over the killing.

Local reports are linking the two incidents.

It's sad that Italy has done away with the death penalty.

This is what happens when you force multiculturalism on people.

So, you are blaming the victims for being foreigners? That sounds pretty moronic. You have a racist white nationalist shooting people... and you want to blame others. The SJW mentality in you is real. Blaming victims because they are black, and in a country is about the same as blaming a rape victim for being a woman... and saying it's feminism's fault.

I hate to break it to you, but multiculturalism doesn't need to be forced. All that required for multiculturalism to exist is for people to not try and force it from existing.

Not at all. Death is the only appropriate punishment for some people.

If you want to follow your base instincts for vengeance, that's your opinion. I don't see any rational reason why killing people should be part of our justice system.

No, this what happens when stupid people get to have guns.

[Machismo]

You're for open borders, we get it. Every. Single. Thread.

You are literally blaming the victims... we get it, you don't like black people. Your argument can be summed up like:

"Well, they wouldn't have to murder people, if the government would stop letting foreigners (the black ones) in."

As for me, yes, I am a big fan of freedom. I'm also big on holding people responsible for their actions. You seem to want to blame the victims... sad!

Killing someone for their wrong doings is vengeance not justice and as such the death penalty should not exist in a justice system.

if only guns were illegal in italy. this wouldn't have happened

It's not justice when you let people who would take other peoples lives, live. It's a mockery of justice.

No, its a mockery of justice to kill people for killing people. You're again confusing your desire for vengeance and blood with justice.

I'm not confusing anything. Justice is about punishing people for their wrongdoings.

I guess we just have very different views on what justice is and isn't.

And yet it has not stopped people in those countries that have the death penalty, from committing crimes that attract such a punishment..

I agree. Justice is not served in too many cases. Some people are just scums and need to be eliminated. Not put in prisons where they can relax and get all their basic needs fullfilled for the rest of their life.

Our elected officials must condemn overt national sentiment and any elements of European/American (read: white) patriotism. There's no place for it in 2018. The far right are a bunch of bullies and they're violent. Our elected officials must put a stop to them.

Natacha Bouchart should be sacked, she is grossly incompetent and disconnected from the people.

Yes, it has. You only see those who have committed a crime despite the death penalty, not those who have refrained due to being scared of what punishment they will get.

It's difficult to post about a story that I didn't see. Feel free to make your own thread about it though instead of trying to derail this one.
