This is the best summary I could come up with:
Italian opposition leaders are demanding “clarity” from the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, after a gun owned by an MP from her far-right Brothers of Italy party was accidentally fired at a New Year’s Eve gathering.
Emanuele Pozzolo confirmed that the pistol belonged to him but denied firing the bullet, which grazed the leg of a 31-year-old man who was among the security entourage of the Italian justice ministry undersecretary Andrea Delmastro.
They have also seized the 0.22 caliber North American Arms mini-revolver and the bullet removed from the thigh of the victim as part of the investigation.
“I confirm that the gun, which is legally owned by me and which injured one of the participants at the party, was fired accidentally, but not by me,” Pozzolo told the Ansa news agency.
Elly Schlein, the leader of the centre-left Democratic party, called on Meloni to immediately clarify the action she intended to take against Pozzolo.
Delmastro, who said he was outside when the incident happened shortly after 1am and therefore was not a witness, distanced himself from Pozzolo, who reportedly turned up at the party to “say hello” after seeing the new year in elsewhere.
