Turkish Police Detain Six After Russian Ambassador Shot Dead

On December 19, 2016, the Russian Ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov, was shot and killed by a gunman at an art gallery in Ankara, Turkey. The attack was widely condemned by governments around the world.

In the aftermath of the attack, Turkish police detained six people in connection with the murder. The suspects were identified as Turkish nationals who were allegedly linked to the gunman, Mevlüt Mert Altıntaş.

Altıntaş, a 22-year-old Turkish police officer, was shot and killed by police at the scene of the attack. He was reportedly a member of the Turkish police force and had been radicalized by extremist ideologies.

The investigation into the attack is ongoing, and Turkish authorities have launched a manhunt for any other individuals who may have been involved in the plot.

The assassination of Ambassador Karlov has strained relations between Russia and Turkey, which have been tense in recent years due to disagreements over Syria and other issues.
