Rome (CNN)Italian police have arrested an American citizen on suspicion of brutally murdering a shopkeeper in the city of Viterbo, near Rome, authorities told CNN Sunday.

Michael Aaron Pang, 22, from Overland Park, Kansas, is accused of beating 74-year-old shop worker Norveo Fedeli to death after being unable to pay for clothes, according to Lt. Col. Guglielmo Trombetta of Italy's paramilitary police, the Carabinieri.

Pang arrived in Italy in mid-February and rented a bed and breakfast in the village of Capodimonte, the officer said.

People of all ethnic backgrounds commit heinous crimes of course but it doesn't hurt to know... and from Kansas?? Overland??

It probably happens more that Americans are killed in Italy, I'm not ripping Italy on this. It happens. There was a student I read about. I'd really have to get the article... and then, I read of another story not that long ago.

This is probably why this is a rather shocking story, because stories of Americans killing abroad are rare and let's not count, say the odd story on a member of the military doing it in Okinawa or somewhere.
