Five people, including three police officers, were wounded in a shooting in front of a courthouse in Istanbul on Tuesday, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said, adding the two shooters had been killed in the gunbattle.
The two shooters – a woman and man – opened fire at a police checkpoint in front of the Caglayan court house around 0846 GMT, Yerlikaya said on social media platform X, without elaborating.
