Man Is Shot In The Ribs With An Arrow At His Son's Birthday Party For Being To Loud, Dies Later At Hospital

The Daily Mail- This is the moment a man celebrating the birth of his baby son was fatally shot with a bow and arrow by a neighbor angry at the noise he was making.

Javier Alfredo Miranda Romero, 41, was with a group of pals and had been walking home with them after wetting the newborn’s head at a nearby bar.

But as he stood and chatted outside his apartment, furious Evaristo Scalco, 63, grabbed a bow and arrow and shot him with the steel-tipped flight usually used to kill wild boars.

Graphic footage online shows Javier clutching his stomach with the arrow clearly sticking out from him as he staggers around in a pool of blood in an alleyway in the Italian port city of Genoa.

Bare-chested Scalco can be seen in the first floor window holding the bow in his hand as he looks on, unaware that Javier is mortally wounded.

Witnesses say Scalco had hurled racist insults at Peruvian-born Javier before grabbing the bow and arrow and shooting him in the early hours of Wednesday.

Javier and his friends had been at a nearby bar watching the Champions League match between Liverpool and Napoli before heading home after a few drinks.

In one harrowing piece of footage, Javier can be seen in tears and talking on his phone, holding the arrow and whimpering: ‘Son of a b****. What the f*** have you done to me ? My God.’

Realising the gravity of the situation, Scalco runs down and in other videos is seen bending over trying to stem the flow of blood as police try to keep a crowd of Javier’s angry friends back.

Seconds earlier they had tried to remove the arrow from his body, possibly exacerbating the wound.

He was later taken away by paramedics to a local hospital.

Doctors battled to save his life after surgery and discovered his liver had been pierced.

But despite trying to find him a possible donor there was nothing that could be done and he died from his injuries on Wednesday.
