A police officer and three Napoli supporters were injured, one fan critically, in clashes before Saturday's Copa Italia final between Napoli and Fiorentina in Rome, Italian television and news agencies reported. The ANSA news agency reports that the shootings occurred in Rome's periphery where Napoli fans were gathering for the match.
One man was shot in the chest as he walked towards Stadio Olimpico and taken to Villa San Pietro hospital, it was reported. It said another supporter was shot in the arm, while the police officer was shot in the hand. Circumstances of the shootings were not immediately clear however the pistol used in the incidents has been found by the police, the AGI news agency said.
Clashes were also reported in the Tor di Quinto area close to the stadium, with rival supporters throwing firecrackers and other objects at each other ahead of the game, forcing a delay to the 7pm GMT kick-off. The website of daily newspaper La Repubblica reported a total of six people injured in the clashes. The police were only immediately able to confirm the injury to the supporter shot in the chest.

Now lets see what the football authorities do now. I bet they will do absolutely nothing because they like the Italians unlike us if we do anything like that we would be out of European games let alone the world cup

Let's not kid ourselves here as we still have aggro but nothing like it used to be and not on a scale like mentioned here.
I was there when it was the norm in the 70's and 80's so grew up with it but can't remember a shooting,although witnessed
many dangerous incidents.

You say that as if English clubs are routinely banned rather than that one time as a culmination of a long spell of hooliganism that ended up resulting in disaster.

To be fair even back in the day the hooligans abroad were far more vicious and fond of weapons. Our lot were more of a drunken mob of idiots. However I agree that our one and only ban was a result of the tragic death of 39 people. A slap on the wrist was never going to be an option
