The responsible carabinieri in Verona did not initially comment when asked. According to Ansa, the explosion caused the two-storey building to collapse, burying the police officers underneath it. Firefighters, who were also at the scene, immediately rushed to help. However, all help came too late for the three carabinieri. A woman who had been in the house was also injured. According to Ansa, she is believed to have triggered the explosion.
