Several people, mostly African migrants have been injured after a man opened fire on Africans in Macerata, Italy on Saturday.
The shootings happened just days after a Nigerian migrant was arrested in connection with the death of an 18-year-old Italian woman, whose dismembered body was discovered hidden in two suitcases near Macerata.
Local media reported that at least six migrants were shot by a man firing out of a car window as he drove around the city.
