Police officer shot in Kastamonu after PM visit
A Turkish police officer was shot dead by unidentified assailants on Wednesday in the northern Turkish city of Kastamonu, where Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan had been speaking earlier in the day.
A police convoy escorting the premier was attacked 20 kilometers into the Kastamonu road to Ankara. Supposedly before shooting at the police car, the perpetrators first set off a hand granade resulting in one of the police cars igniting.
