Bloomberg radio said someone was shot at a train station in Milan after failing to produce ID.
It's not yet certain if this is the attack suspect. EDIT: but there is a claimed fingerprint match.
An Italian press conference is pending.

Berlin market attack suspect killed in shootout in northern Italy
By Emilio Parodi and Antonella Cinelli | MILAN
The suspect in the Berlin Christmas market truck attack was killed in a pre-dawn shoot-out with police in a suburb of the northern Italian city of Milan on Friday, Italy's interior minister said.
"The man killed was without a shadow of doubt Anis Amri," Marco Minniti said, referring to the 24-year-old Tunisian who is suspected of driving the truck that smashed through a Berlin market on Monday killing 12 people.
Minniti told reporters that Amri was stopped by two policemen at around 3 a.m. (3.00 a.m. BST) in front of the Sesto San Giovanni train station, north of Milan.
When he was asked for his identification papers, Amri pulled a gun and shot one of the two policemen, lightly wounding him in the shoulder. He in turn was then shot dead by the police.

(2,736 posts)12. Well, so much for the "accident" theory.
No big deal apparently.

(8,303 posts)14. They've known it wasn't an accident since the original driver's fate became clear
The autopsy was done within 24 hours, and then it became clear that it was a violent episode.
Call it what anyone wants - but it was deliberate mass murder.
