Death of Petru Barladeanu, the Romanian murdered in Naples, caught on camera

The drama of Petru Barlandeanu, the Romanian citizen killed on 26th of May at Cumana metro station in Naples (Napoli) was recorded by the surveillance cameras. The Romanian was shot twice - in the chest and the leg - after being accidentally caught in the middle of a fight between mafia mobsters. It was not clear what happened untill the videotapes revealed the exact chain of tragic events. Eight mafia related gangsters tried to "settle" accounts with a rival member by opening fire in the middle of the street. Two innocent passers-by, an Italian 14-year-old and Petru Barladeanu just happened to be at the wrong time at the wrong place and they were hit by random bullets. Whereas the Italian escaped with injuries, for Romanian proved to be fatal in the end. The tapes show that after being hit, Barladeanu found refuge inside Cumana metro station. He walked a few steps before loosing his strength and falling down between the ticket office and platform. His wife was screaming desperately for help but obviously the scared people were trying to flee the area. After a while, some curious passers-by started to take pictures. The help arrived half a hour later when the Romanian was already dead. Subsequently, the Italian and Romanian media made a lot of noise on the fact that the help came too late despite the fact that a hospital was located nearby. Therefore it's still unknown if the Romanian was left to die at Cumana station because of either the medical services flaw or outrageous indifference from the passing people.
