Protests Erupt Across Turkey After 1 Killed

Thousands of people protested in Istanbul and other Turkish cities, on Tuesday.

The national protests were set off after the death of a protester in Armutlu.

Police blocked protesters' paths and fired rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons into the masses.

In some places protesters erected barricades and threw bottles, bricks, stones and other objects at officers.

Security forces have surrounded any such barricaded areas, but have not been able to force their way into some.

The government has warned that it will call in the military if necessary.
