1 Killed, 6 Wounded in Latest Turkish Violence

One person was killed and six were wounded when Turkish police opened fire on a mob, on Friday.

It happened in Kayacik when two hundred protesters marched on an outpost that was under construction.

The protesters began throwing rocks, gas bombs, and lighting fires.

Police responded with a warning volley into the air, and then it quickly turned to riot as the mob attacked the officers.

It was then that officers fired a second volley, into the crowd.

Witnesses say that there were injuries to both sides during the fighting, but the shooting quickly ended things.
