Mario Roggero, Shot and killed two robbers in Grinzane Cavour
Mario Roggero fired five shots at the gang. Gang members Andrea Spinelli from Bra and Giuseppe Mazzarino from Turin died of their injuries a few meters from the entrance to the store, according to the Daily Mail.
One of them was found dead in the middle of the street while the other was found in the side street corner. The third robber, who was also injured, was later taken to hospital after attempting to flee the scene.
However, Roggero has been accused of negligent excess of legitimate defense and will be tried for murder. The prosecution claimed that he pursued the three robbers when they had already fled the store with the looted merchandise.
