ISTANBUL (AP) — Two people were killed Tuesday while trying to attack a court in Istanbul, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said.
A man and a woman died during an “attempted assault” at a security checkpoint at the Caglayan court late in the morning, Yerlikaya explained on social media.
Five people were injured in the incident, including three police officers. “I congratulate our heroic police officers. I wish the injured a speedy recovery,” the minister added.
Caglayan is a huge court complex in the Kagithane district, on the European side of the city.
