Italian cop allegedly killed by US teens to be mourned in church where he was married

The slaying of Deputy Brigadier Mario Cerciello Rega, a member of the famed Italian Carabinieri paramilitary police force, has sent shock waves from Italy to Northern California, where the two suspects, Finnegan Lee Elder, 19, and Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth, 18, are from.

"He used to make pilgrimages to Lourdes and Loreto to help the suffering people every week," said Ottaviani, referring to two major Catholic pilgrimage sites."Without telling anyone, he volunteered. Not only does a brave Carabinieri die, but a great man." Elder and Natale-Hjorth, both graduates of Tamalpais High School in the San Francisco suburb of Mill Valley, were allegedly trying to buy drugs before the slaying, but were sold a fake substance, a police spokesman told ABC News.

The suspects were captured on surveillance video running from the scene with the stolen backpack, police said. They were tracked down at their hotel near Rome's Tiber River, police added. Gargaro said the officer who blindfolded the suspect made a"mistake" and that an investigation of the incident has been launched.

I hope they get stuck in an Italian prison for life. This is so wrong. And everyone wonders why every country hates us..

Accept America’s apology for these two inhuman B*stards for taking a Precious Life. They don’t represent the Love we Americans have for Italy 🇮🇹. Blindfold them, do whatever you like to them. The American People Approve. Evil Incarnate. MAGA

White American teens so they're reported as American teens but if they'd been Black American teens, 'black boys/thugs' would have been in the caption RIP to him though. He didn't deserve this.

The young men will be tried by the Italian Justice System, and sentenced accordingly.

Wow, my condolences to his family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

What a sin...

💐 RIP

So sad. Heartbreaking.

We all know why Americans are being treated so bad in other Countries.

This is so upsetting! Privileged kids in another country disrespecting everyone. Hopefully, their families will not be able to get them out.

Horrible

Tragic, how much u want to bet they are trump supporters

I guess to white males, the saying goes 'When in Rome, disregard everything and treat it like America.'

Crazy they are from about an hour from me,graduated from Santa Barbara hopefully they burn in eternal hell!

Tragedy 🙏

So awful!
