2025-08-16 - Three people were killed and one woman was seriously injured in a shooting in Forio on the island of Ischia, Campania, Leggo reported. The source says the attack unfolded in Via Provinciale Panza, in the Cuotto area, and that it happened during a busy summer period on the island.
According to the report, Antonio Luongo, 69, opened fire and killed his ex-wife's partner, Nunzio Russo Spena, and her mother, Zinoviya Knihnitska. Leggo says the two were found in the street near an hotel. The report also says Luongo then chased his ex-wife and shot her, leaving her hospitalised in grave condition at Rizzoli Hospital in Lacco Ameno.
The article says Luongo then turned the weapon on himself and later died after being taken to hospital. That is how the death toll reaches three: the two named victims and the gunman. The excerpt identifies the woman as 42 and of Ukrainian origin, and it describes the victims' partner and mother as central to the domestic dispute.
Leggo says the area was blocked off for hours and that carabinieri, police, municipal officers, volunteers and a magistrate were all involved in the scene. That emergency response shows how disruptive the shooting was for local traffic and for residents and visitors in a tourist area.
The report frames the episode as a motive of passion or domestic conflict, but it does not provide a full forensic reconstruction. It also does not say whether the weapon was legally held or whether the suspect had any prior warnings. Those details are beyond the supplied evidence.
What is clear is the scale of the violence: a summer afternoon in Forio turned into a fatal shooting that left two people dead in the street, a woman seriously injured, and the gunman dead after turning the weapon on himself.
The summer-holiday setting matters because the source shows the attack happened in a place that was full of visitors and local residents, which would have amplified the panic and traffic disruption. Leggo says the road area was blocked for hours, and that aligns with the kind of emergency closure expected after a fatal shooting in a narrow town setting.
The report also makes clear that this was a domestic dispute that spilled into public violence. The identities of the victims and the suspect are all tied together through family relationships, and that is why the article should frame the case as a family tragedy rather than as an arbitrary street attack.
The source does not describe any prior warning, police protection or restraining order. Those omissions should remain visible because they matter to readers and because they prevent the article from drifting into conjecture about prevention. What can be said is simply that three people died, one woman survived critically injured, and the suspect later died as well.
Because the victims were found near an hotel and the shooting took place on a road, the incident disrupted both residents and visitors. That setting helps explain the scale of the emergency response without requiring any extra claims about the suspect's travel or planning.
