Suspect in Berlin Truck Attack Shot Dead in Milan, Italy
--------------------------------------------------------

In breaking news, police in Milan, Italy, say they have shot and killed
Anis Amri, the main suspect in an attack on a market in Berlin earlier
this week. Police say Amri opened fire on officers after he was asked to
show his ID during a routine traffic stop. They say one officer was
wounded in the shoulder before another officer shot and killed Amri. The
24-year-old Tunisian was accused of hijacking a truck, killing its
driver and then ramming it into a crowded Christmas market on Monday in
an attack that left 11 more people dead and dozens wounded.
