In the high-security prison of Frosinone, southeast of Rome, an inmate shot at three fellow inmates. The firearm was delivered to the shooter by drone.

After obtaining permission to shower, a 28-year-old Neapolitan prisoner, a member of the Camorra, pointed a firearm at the guard. He then tried to open the door of a cell containing three fellow inmates. When that failed, he shot through the bars at the men, who miraculously remained unharmed.

The shooter then called his lawyer using an illegal cell phone. He managed to convince him to hand the firearm over to the hastily summoned guards.

The Neapolitan's attack came after he had been mistreated by his fellow inmates a few days earlier.

CCTV footage showed that the man's firearm had been delivered to the window of his cell via a drone.

The case has caused a stir in Italy. The country has the most overcrowded prisons in the European Union.
