12-06-2025


A 17-year-old boy was found in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head in the countryside of Torremaggiore, in the province of Foggia, sparking a complex investigation. Initially thought to be a suicide attempt, the absence of a weapon at the scene has led authorities to consider the possibility of an assault. The teenager was discovered near a family-owned farmhouse, lying in a pool of blood, and was immediately rushed to the Policlinico Riuniti in Foggia, where he remains in a coma with a reserved prognosis.

The alarm was raised by friends of the teenager who went looking for him, only to find him unconscious and severely injured. Emergency services, including an air ambulance, were dispatched to the scene, underscoring the gravity of the situation. The swift response by medical personnel may have been crucial in stabilizing the young man, whose condition is described as extremely serious.

Carabinieri are meticulously piecing together the events leading up to the incident, interviewing relatives and acquaintances to uncover any motives or circumstances that could explain the violent act. The lack of a weapon has complicated the investigation, shifting the focus from a potential suicide to a possible criminal act. Forensic teams have also been involved, collecting evidence that could shed light on the mysterious circumstances surrounding the shooting.

As the community reels from the shock, the case has taken on a somber tone, with many awaiting answers to the many questions that remain. The investigation continues, with authorities determined to clarify the sequence of events and bring those responsible to justice. The incident has highlighted the challenges faced by law enforcement in solving crimes where evidence is scarce and motives are unclear.
