A right-wing extremist suspected in the shooting rampage that wounded six Africans in central Italy was "lucid and determined, aware of what he had done" and exhibited no remorse for his actions, an Italian law enforcement official says.
Luca Traini, 28, remains in jail as police investigate him on multiple
counts of attempted murder with the aggravating circumstance of "racial hatred" for the attacks yesterday in the Italian city of Macerata.
The five men and one woman were wounded in the two-hour drive-by shooting spree were from Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia and Mali, according to RAI state television.
Italian authorities said they seized Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, other publications linked to Nazism and a flag with a Celtic cross, a symbol commonly used by white supremacists, from Traini's home.
Traini, who is Italian, was an unsuccessful candidate last year in a local election for the anti-migrant Northern League political party.
