Gunshots Delay Coppa Italia Game

I was getting ready to watch the Coppa Italia as we speak to only discover that the game had been delayed due to something. I was hearing conflicting reports of bombs or gunshots being fired outside the Stadio Olimpico in Rome as Fiorentina was to take on Napoli in the final. One report that I read according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport was that gunshots were fired by who they believe are Roma Ultra fans against Napoli and Fiorentina fans. Four people were hurt which includes one plain clothes police officer and a Napoli fan (who has now been announced as being murdered). So, the match that was suppsoed to happen at 8PM their time has been delayed. Napoli captain Marek Hamsik was even seen talking to Napoli Ultras to try and resolve the problem from escalating. Hopefully I Will have the Coppa Italia results later for you guys. Stay tuned here for more info as it becomes available to me.
