Sanremo Massacre

On June 10 and 11, 1945, an Italian soldier killed 15 people and wounded nine others in Sanremo, Italy, before being arrested.

The young man first stabbed and injured a guard at a military camp and stole his rifle, before opening fire on 17 sleeping soldiers, killing 10 of them. Afterwards he barricaded himself in the building and took several soldiers hostage. In the morning of June 11, the soldier shot dead five of his hostages and wounded another, and then surrendered.
