Boy clinging to life after Mafia father used him as human shield

A SIX-YEAR-OLD boy was fighting for his life last night after his mobster father tried to use him as a human shield as he was shot dead by rivals in a Mafia hit.

Alessio Salvia was wounded four times in the stomach and back as the car he and his father Giuseppe Salvia, 29, were in was ambushed and riddled with bullets by gangsters with machine guns.
