On Thursday evening there was an incident in the Vatican in which a shot was even fired. A motorist had raced his vehicle through a gate in the Papal States. Security forces stopped the man.
The car reached the eastern Sant’Anna entrance gate of the Vatican and broke through the two control gates of the Pontifical Swiss Guard and the Vatican Gendarmerie Corps at high speed, the Holy See said. First, the car approached and was turned away by the Swiss Guards. After a maneuver it turned back and ran into the Vatican.
Shot on a car tire
In an attempt to stop the car, one of the Vatican’s forces fired his pistol into the front tires of the vehicle. Although he hit the vehicle on the left front fender, the car continued to move. The car, meanwhile, reached the interior behind the gate and the Cortile di San Damaso, the central courtyard of the Apostolic Palace. The driver got out uninvited and was apprehended by the emergency services.
The approximately 40-year-old man was immediately examined by a doctor – the doctors of the Vatican City Health Department discovered “psychophysical changes” in him. According to the Holy See, the man is now in custody in the barracks of the Vatican Gendarmerie.
