A lone gunman opened fire at an election campaign office for the ruling AK Party in the southeastern province of Batman on Thursday.

Abit Nasıroğlu, 27, who was in the office at the time of the attack, was killed. The gunman, who fled on foot, was captured by police. The victim was the son of a former AK Party lawmaker.

Doğan News Agency quoted a local party official as saying the attack was not politically motivated and stemmed from a feud between the victim and the suspect.
