Berlin truck attack suspect Anis Amri has been shot dead in Milan, the ANSA news agency and Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper reported Friday.

There has been a four-day Europe-wide manhunt for Amri, a 24-year-old Tunisian national who is believed to have driven a large truck laden with steel into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 people and injuring 48.

Amri reportedly spent several years in Italy before entering Germany in July 2015.
