6 people wounded and 2 assailants shot dead during an attempt to attack a Turkish courthouse

ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey’s interior minister says two people have been shot dead while trying to attack a courthouse in Istanbul. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said the man and woman were killed during an “attempt to attack” a security checkpoint at the Caglayan courthouse on Tuesday. He said five people were hurt, including three police officers. He later identified the attackers as alleged members of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front, or DHKP/C, a far-left group that is considered a terrorist organization in Turkey, the United States and the European Union. Caglayan is a huge court complex in the Kagithane district on the city’s European side. It’s also known as the Istanbul Justice Palace.
