Authorities and witnesses said a man opened fire during a condominium board meeting on Sunday in a coffee shop in northern Rome, killing three people and injuring another.

Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri called an emergency security meeting for Monday after what he called “the grave episode of violence that has struck our city.” In a tweet, he confirmed three people were killed in the shooting in the working class neighborhood of Fidene.

“The shooting occurred in an enclosed outdoor seating area of the bar, called “Il Posto Giusto,” or “The Right Place.”

Luciana Ciorba, the vice president of the condo board, was a witness who was quoted in the daily La Repubblica as saying that the man entered the bar shouting “I’ll kill you all” before opening fire on the patrons. Participants managed to disarm him until Carabinieri police came.

Ciorba claimed in a video interview that the individual was familiar to board members and had previously been reported to authorities for making threats against local citizens. The threats were made against the local residents.
