Manhunt for gunman who killed four

Italian police were searching today for a fugitive gunman who shot and killed four people – including a two-and-a-half-year-old girl and a pensioner – in a working-class neighbourhood on the outskirts of Milan.

Italian news reports identified the gunman as Vito Cosco, 27, of Crotone in Calabria. He is accused of gunning down two men late Saturday and in the process, killing two bystanders: the baby girl who was shot in her mother’s arms and a 60-year-old man who had been out walking his dog.
