DHAKA: As many as four people are reported to have died after a man opened fire at the Palace of Justice in the Italian city of Milan before being arrested.

Officials said the gunman, identified by local media as Claudio Giardiello, was a defendant in a bankruptcy case.

The Ansa news agency said he shot a bankruptcy court judge, a lawyer and one other man. The fourth person is thought to have had a heart attack.

The suspect was arrested in the suburb of Vimercate as he fled on a motorbike.

Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said the "presumed assassin" was now being held at a carabinieri military police barracks in the Milan area.
