For those who may have heard_ there was a shooting which claimed the lives of three Turkish police officers in İstanbul at 11: 30 am Turkish time (4:30 am EST). Three of the four assailants were shot by surviving police officers.
Other details are sketchy right now.
İ am 30 miles from the downtown center of İstanbul and I was nowhere close to the American consulate today.
My heart goes out to the families of the police officers.
The Turkish people have been very nice to us. İt is truly ashame that incidents like this will distort the image of the Turkish people.
As an American İ am upset that anyone would attack our embassies and consulates anywhere in the world but since İ am a Turkish-American it is even more annoying when it happens in Turkey.
