Color me SKEPTICAL. It’s just too pat and convenient; at least, until I hear the back story. How did he get to Italy? Who recognized him? How did LEOs get involved. Where was the shootout, how did it get started, etc. Slick story for removing him from the news, though.
Sadly, this was my first reaction as well ... doubt.
He not only got out of Germany, he got into France, took mass transit through France, got out of France, got into Italy, and through part of Italy before being caught. Past God knows how many cops, surveillance cameras and software, and citizens.
Through Switzerland. Unfortunately that means it is easy for Switzerland to get attacked even though the Swiss have generally tried to keep the Slimes under control.
According to the Norwegian Broadcasting Service. Amri was stopped for speeding and as the officers approached the car he started shooting at them and they returned fire albeit injured themselves.
