ROME (AP) ? Italy's interior minister says the shooting that seriously wounded two policemen in a square outside the premier's office in Rome was a "tragic criminal gesture by an unemployed man."
A female passer-by was slightly injured in the shooting, which happened just as Premier Enrico Letta and his new government were being sworn in Sunday elsewhere in the city.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano told reporters the alleged gunman ? Luigi Preiti, a 49-year-old Italian ? wanted to kill himself after the shooting but ran out of bullets. The minister says Preiti fired six shots.
