Acerra nursery targeted by gunfire in overnight attack

An unknown assailant opened fire on a private nursery in via Stendardo, Acerra, during the night. Investigations by the Carabinieri of the Castello di Cisterna Investigative Nucleus indicate that seven gunshots were fired at the facility, with at least one bullet striking a window of a residence on the floor above.

The owner of the nursery, Maria De Rosa—a former municipal councilor—revealed that she had previously reported an attempted extortion in August 2025 involving individuals linked to local criminal environments. De Rosa, who resigned from her council position in 2023 following her husband's arrest in a usury investigation, stated that she would not be intimidated and called on the state to support her decision to cooperate with justice.

Local authorities are currently reviewing surveillance footage and conducting forensic examinations to identify the perpetrators and establish a motive. The incident has caused significant alarm and distress among local families and the community.
