A man has been arrested after a judge and lawyer were among three people shot dead in a court in Milan, the Italian Interior Minister has confirmed.
The man was found by police in the town of Vimercate, 25km (15 miles) from Milan, after fleeing on a motorbike and is being held in a military police barracks, Angelino Alfano said.
He was named in reports as Claudio Giardiello, a defendant in a bankruptcy case at the Palace of Justice, which is in the historic centre of the city, a few streets from its cathedral and main shops.
The gunman shot dead his lawyer and one of his co-defendants first, before walking through the building, going down one floor and killing the judge, prosecutor Edmondo Bruti Liberati said.
The president of Milan's appeals court, Giovanni Canzio, named bankruptcy judge Fernando Ciampi as the one who had been killed.
The ANSA news agency identified the lawyer as Lorenzo Alberto Claris Appiani.
A second co-defendant was seriously injured, Mr Bruti Liberati said.
A fourth person was found dead in the court buildings with no apparent sign of injury, emergency services said.
The area around the court was cordoned off after the shooting and people were initially told to remain inside.
Court employees barricaded themselves inside their offices and took cover under their desks while police searched for the gunman.
A person speaking from inside the president's office at the court told Sky News shortly after the shooting that they had been locked in a room and instructed not to leave.
Women were later seen leaving the building first followed by men, after having their identification checked.
The gunman fired "at least three or four shots", according to lawyer Marcello Ilia.
"We tried to find out what was going on. There were suddenly lots of police officers who told us not to leave the room, they shut us in," he said.
"After a few minutes we came out. They told us someone in a suit and tie was armed and at large in the court."
It was unclear how an armed man gained access to the building as visitors must pass through metal detectors.
