At least two people have been killed, including a court judge after a gunman opened fire in Milan’s Palace of Justice, officials said, adding that the suspect was still at large.
The incident took place at about 11 am local time, when witnesses reportedly heard four or five gunshots.
"I heard shots and saw a man with a bloody leg, I got scared and ran,” one witness told La Repubblica.
"It is shocking …and inconceivable that one can come into court with a weapon," said the president of the Lombardy Region, Roberto Maroni.
Police said the suspect may be still inside the building. The Palace of Justice was immediately evacuated, said La Repubblica newspaper, adding that hundreds of people were seen outside the building.
The suspect has reportedly barricaded himself on the third floor of the building, Giornalettismo news website reported, adding that more gunshots have been heard.
