Six people were wounded in an alleged terrorist attack in front of a courthouse in Istanbul, the Turkish Interior Ministry has said, adding that the attackers had been ‘neutralized’. The shooting comes just a week after two gunmen attacked a Catholic church in the city, killing one.
Two perpetrators, a man and a woman, opened fire at a police checkpoint in front of the Caglayan courthouse at around 9am GMT on Tuesday, injuring six people, including three police officers, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Police managed to prevent a broader attack on a security checkpoint at the courthouse, which was allegedly the actual target, according to the minister. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed later on Tuesday that one of the people injured in the attack had died.
