The target was believed to be Cosimo Orlando, 43, who was shot behind the wheel beside his partner Carla Maria Fornari, 30, who was holding her four-year-old boy, all of whom were killed. Two more children in the backseat, a six- and seven-year-old, were unharmed. The shooters fired roughly 20 shots into the moving car from a parallel vehicle at close-range, police said. Orlando had recently been paroled after serving 13 years in prison for taking part in the double homicide of Filippo Scarciello and Giancarlo La Cava, 22 and 26 respectively, in 1998. PProsecutors say those two were killed in a clash of mafia clans in a drug-dealing dispute. Police say the father of the child killed in the shooting, as well as of the two who survived, was Domenico Petruzzelli, an ex-convict killed in a mafia feud in 2011./PIMG id=mediaViewer title=”” alt=”” src=”http://www.mineralfossil.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-trasp184.gif”ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
