The hero policeman who fatally shot the Berlin Christmas Market massacre suspect was a rookie who was just a few months into the job.
But trainee officer Luca Scatà still managed to chase down and shoot dead Europe’s most wanted man, Anis Amri.

The Sicilian, who works in Milan, approached the killer outside Sesto San Giovanni station in the northern Italian city while on patrol with colleague Christian Movio.

They asked for his ID because he looked like the Berlin terror suspect - Amri pulled a gun from his bag and opened fire, screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’.

Movio was hit in the shoulder and Amri ran through the square trying to hide behind cars while firing.

Scatà gave chase and shot him dead in the street.

Movio is in hospital but will survive the shooting, police said.

The wounded officer was taken to hospital San Gerardo Hospital in Monza, came into the emergency room at around 4 in the morning, red code for a gunshot wound to the right shoulder.

Movio was then transferred to the green code in orthopedics and traumatology, where he remained under observation awaiting a two-hour surgery to remove the bullet from his shoulder.

The wound has been reported as superficial and the policeman is expected to keep all of the mobility in his shoulders and arms.

The bullet-proof vest that may have saved Movio's life can be seen in images with a clear bullet hole pierced in it.

Italian interior minister Marco Minniti said there was 'no doubt' the dead man was Anis Amri and paid tribute to the bravery of the officers, naming them in a Rome news conference.
