The 2018 Macerata shooting was a far-right terrorist shooting in Macerata, on February 3, 2018. It received extensive media coverage and affected Italian politics because it occurred during the political campaign for the 2018 general election.
The perpetrator of the shooting, Luca Traini, said the attack was revenge for the murder of Pamela Mastropietro, an 18-year-old local girl whose dismembered body had been found a few days earlier, stuffed into two suitcases and dumped in the countryside. Innocent Oseghale, a 29-year-old Nigerian national and failed asylum seeker, had been arrested and charged for his involvement in Mastropietro's murder.
