Will Italy stay?

I'll be interested to see what the outcome of the most recent incident in Iraq has on US - Italian relations. I understand that the US soldiers at checkpoints in Iraq are under immense pressure but I'm skeptical that trained Italian agents would be stupid enough to race towards a checkpoint after warning shots had been fired. It also makes me wonder how many incidents like this involving innocent Iraqi civilians have occurred. Is it standard practice to shoot first at the checkpoints?
