Enrico Letta was sworn in as Italy’s prime minister after forging an alliance with Silvio Berlusconi, ending a two-month stalemate and signaling a generational shift in the country’s politics.
The ceremony was marred by a shooting outside the prime minister’s office across town. Two police officers and the suspect were wounded in the incident, SKYTG24 said. The gunman was arrested and identified as a 49-year-old with psychological problems, and the shooting didn’t appear to be politically motivated, SKYTG24 reported.
