>> we are back. breaking news as we have been following for you all morning. the suspect in the deadly berlin christmas market attack shot dead in italy. >> so this happened earlier today. middle of the night italian time. i think they said around 3:00 a.m. you are looking at him on the

street. he was shot and killed in a shoot out with the police in the milan area. we have brand new video from the scene. >> amari was killed in what we are being told was a routine traffic stop. police fired back, one officer we were told in a news conference was hit. but he's expected to be okay. that's good news. >> this guy was believed to have spent a number of years in italy. he moved around and went to germany and now when the shooting took place the shoot out with the police he was back in italyable to cross the borders. some blanks need to be filled here. >> he was from tunisia. we didn't mention that. he moved to italy following the arab spring back in 2011.

as we said he had multiple id's about six different names that he used, three different nationalities, had been in trouble before in italy but they apparently had no evidence that he had been radicalized authorities say about 3 and a half years ago he was arrested for setting fire in a refugee camp. in germany we are told possibly the way to track him down, we don't know how he was able to escape after he rammed that truck through the christmas market in berlin. they were able to track some of the papers. also a cell phone they were able to track as well and see his route around the christmas market where he circled a couple different times before ramming the truck. >> you make the point it does bring it up again how difficult these people can be to track if you don't have a trail to go on. in other words, if there's no terrorist watch list that someone is appearing on that u nothing else in their past that

points to something like this that may have happened there's not a long record and sometimes there's arrests and the like. there's something here to go on but not as much in retrospect everything looks obvious. it is difficult for authorities to track these guys. >> bringing the refugees in and the open border policy there in germany was angela merkel being called into question. she herself admitted back in september it was a problem and they were losing control. >> good police work in the end to be able to after having some difficulty identifying who is responsible for this to track him across the borders, it is difficult for them because their hands are tied to some extent to local authorities. they are not making the laws in the situation, but they have to track somebody across international borders and be able to come back into italy and in the middle of the night what started as a routine traffic stop they say this is the guy, he pulls out the gun and the rest is history and the

terrorist is killed this morning. >> allowing refugees, allowing immigrants into the different countries. that of course is one of the big points that president elect trump campaigned on. he had said that he questioned bringing folks into this country who were from what i believe he referred to as countries where there were known terrorists coming into and out of different countries. >> this time of year to bring the story back to the united states. the fbi and other authorities put out the alert. other areas will be gathering for christmas celebrations and new year's celebrations. that always happens. there seems to be what patricia has been focusing on because of what is happening in berlin on christmas markets or anything, churches. >> it was released overnight that involves u.s. churches.

time for people to be concerned but still try to celebrate the holidays and christmas with our families and loved ones. >> more coming up. 28 past the hour as we continue here. we will go overseas and have more on the berlin attacker who was killed in the milan area. >> plus caught on camera they confronted a potential terrorist in florida and the chaos that comes next. >> a family stuck in the middle of a house fire nail biting moments step by step.
