The hero policeman, who took out the 2016 Berlin terrorist, has tragically died from cancer at the age of 35.
Luca Scatà was a 27-year-old trainee officer when he took out mass murderer, Anis Amri, with a perfectly-aimed shot to the chest.
Twelve people were killed and 56 injured in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in the German city, eight years ago.

A lorry with Polish number plates that had started its trip in Turin, Italy, drove into a crowd in the central Breitscheidplatz.
The attack, carried out by failed asylum seeker, Amri, from Tunisia, was claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group.
After carrying out the attack, the 24-year-old, fled the scene amid a massive manhunt, as reported on Need To Know.
After travelling through France, he arrived in Sesto San Giovanni near Milan, Italy, in the early hours of 23 December.
He was on foot when Scatà and a more senior policeman stopped him for a routine check in a square at around 3am.
When asked to show his documents, Amri pulled a gun from his rucksack and shot officer, Christian Movio, in the shoulder, wounding him.
Bravely and calmly, Scatà returned fire, killing Amri on the spot.
For his actions, he was awarded a gold medal for civil valour by Italian President, Sergio Mattarella.
His untimely death was announced by Sesto San Giovanni’s mayor, Roberto Di Stefano.
He wrote: “Luca, your courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.”
Scatà was in hospital when he tied the knot with his fiancée Miriana Tavormina on 17 July.
Her latest post said: “You are my life, my dear husband. I love you immensely.”
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was among other politicians who paid tribute to him.
The PM wrote: “His dedication and courage will always remain in our hearts.”
