Berlin Christmas market attack suspect ‘shot dead in Milan’

From the Daily Mail

The Berlin attack suspect has been shot dead after a gunfight with police in Milan this morning, Italian police have said.

He is understood to have pulled a gun on a police patrol after being stopped for a routine ID check and shot an officer in the shoulder leaving him seriously injured.

A shoot out then took place at about 3am local time and he was reportedly heard shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he tried to flee and police opened fire. 

There was no official confirmation that the dead man was Amri, 24, the Tunisian but the Italian Interior Ministry is expected to hold a press conference on Friday morning in Rome.

This morning there had been reported sighting of him in Aalborg, Denmark – but this now appears to have been a false alarm.
