Former mobster Gene Borrello reveals a shocking tale from his past — shooting his best friend, Chris Cognata, in his first Mafia-ordered hit at just 20 years old. Chris, described as a "wild cowboy," had previously robbed and humiliated another associate, triggering a vendetta within their circle. Borrello, eager to prove his loyalty, did not hesitate when ordered to take action against his friend. Against the backdrop of Mafia violence and survival, Borrello recounts the intense moment in April 2006 when he shot Chris in broad daylight. The incident escalated as Chris's girlfriend hit Borrello with a car, and despite multiple gunshots, Chris survived. Retaliation swiftly followed, with Chris firing a machine gun at Borrello's home weeks later. Remarkably, after several years and jail time, the two rekindled their friendship, albeit cautiously.
