Augusta, spara al "rivale" e poi posta un video sui social: due fermi

Explain to me in a nutshell the following article:

“A 22-year-old from Lentini and a 24-year-old from Carlentini were stopped by the Carabinieri, on the orders of the Prosecutor’s Office of Syracuse, as part of the investigations into an attempted murder committed on April 28. According to the accusation, the two, in a car, would have pulled alongside the car of a 22-year-old, who was driving, and fired several shots at him, injuring him in the side. Then one of the two detainees posted a video on social media while filming himself and self-celebrating. Watching the footage were also the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of Syracuse and the Augusta company, who were investigating the ambush allegedly carried out due to ancient grudges over trivial reasons. The shooting took place after the soccer match between Carlentini and Francofonte, but was unrelated to the fans and the game.

The acquisition of all the surveillance cameras in the area and the technical activity carried out by the military narrowed down the circle of suspects despite the lack of collaboration from the victim and people informed about the facts, who did not provide any contribution to the investigations. The Carabinieri scoured social media for content related to those young men and found the video in which the actual shooter records and self-celebrates.

In the comments on the video, the Carabinieri found confirmation of the initial investigative hypotheses, identifying those they believe could be the authors of the shooting, even though they used fake nicknames. By cross-referencing the collected data and digital traces left by the two suspects, the Carabinieri drew up and submitted a report to the judicial authority, which shared the investigative hypotheses and issued a detention order. The two were taken to the Cavadonna prison in Syracuse.”
