CWN Editor's Note: Unknown persons entered a Marian shrine in Tuscany during Mass, sprayed pepper spray into the air, and fled, according to an Italian media report.

The attack took place at the Shrine of Madonna del Soccorso in Prato, a city of 200,000. The air was so acrid that the next Mass had to be celebrated outdoors.
