For centuries, Vatican City, for obvious religious reasons, but in the nineties, there was a sordid shoot-out involving two Swiss National Guard officers ( one a Colonel and de-facto Police commandant! in a shooting fray that was considered a murder-suicide. when the smoke cleared. Colonel Esterman, his wife, and a relative rookie Guardsman were dead from gunshot wounds! this is a horrible thing, the first successful violent crime in the Vatican, in centuries ( there were a number of unsuccessful assasination attempts on Pope John Paul II.)
