The Russian ambassador being shot is not that surprising given that Turkey harbors & supports ISIS terrorists. https://t.co/CERBCpnbWX

Turkish media now say the Russian Ambassador is in a hospital's emergency services section and the treatment is underway. Not announced dead

As you can see, there are conflicting reports over whether or not the ambassador has died. Most people say he has. I’ll update the headline when final word comes in, but I’m going with dead, given the reports. Also, look at that picture. It didn’t look very good right from jump street.

“Very serious situation” is perhaps an understatement.
Latest from @AP from Ankara:
Attacker
* shouted "Allahu Akbar"
* fired 8 shots
* wore suit and tie
* spoke some words in Russian https://t.co/H2mRUoT0cC— Raphael Satter (@razhael) December 19, 2016

On that note, I’m done here for the time being. I’ll come back later and update this post if I see some more pertinent information. I just happened to be watching all this unfold live, so I figured I might as well make a post out of it.
