==Incident== [[Image:Giuliani-Jeep Attack.jpg|thumb|Giuliani moments before (left) and after being fatally wounded. The gun that fired the fatal shot can be seen in the top right corner of the first photograph.]] In July 2001, anti-globalization demonstrators protested the [[27th G8 summit]] in [[Genoa]], Italy, where leaders of the world's major industrialized nations met. Among these protesters was Carlo Giuliani, a 23-year-old Roman Italian and resident of Genoa, whom a police officer shot and killed during what had become a riot two miles from the summit. It was the first death in an anti-globalization demonstration since its rise from the [[1999 Seattle WTO protests]]. According to a Reuters photographer, who took photographs of the incident, Giuliani and several other young, male protesters had surrounded and attacked a police van with rocks and other weapons. Italian television broadcast several photographs, in which Giuliani threw a fire extinguisher at the van. A hand from inside the van then fired a pistol in response, and Giuliani collapsed behind the van. Further photographs and reports show that the van had run over his legs twice after he was shot.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jul/20/globalisation.usa|title=Protester shot dead in Genoa riot|last=Jeffery|first=Simon|date=2001-07-20|work=The Guardian|access-date=2018-03-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://i2.wp.com/www.news-decoder.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dylan2.jpg?ssl=1|title=dylan2|last=Martinez|first=Dylan|date=2015-05-09|website=News Decoder/Reuters|access-date=2018-03-17}}</ref> The [[Claudio Scajola|Italian interior minister]] confirmed that Giuliani had been hit by a bullet fired in self-defense by a police officer, who was later hospitalized for his injuries.{{r|NYT day-of}} ''[[The New York Times]]'' said it was unclear why the riot police had live ammunition, whereas other Genoa riot police used water cannons, riot sticks, and tear gas elsewhere in the city.{{r|NYT day-of}} About 1,000 people attended Giuliani's funeral in Genoa, his coffin ornamented in [[ferns]] and [[A.S.
