6 people wounded and 2 assailants shot dead during a hearing in Turkey

Two people were shot dead while trying to attack a courthouse in Istanbul on Tuesday, Turkey’s interior minister said.
The man and woman were killed during an “attempt to attack” a security checkpoint at the Caglayan courthouse at 11:46 a.m. local time (0846 GMT), Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya posted on social media.
Six people were injured in the incident, including three police officers. “I congratulate our heroic police officers. I wish a speedy recovery to our injured,” the minister added.
Caglayan, which is also known as the Istanbul Justice Palace, is a huge court complex in the Kagithane district on the city’s European side. Heavily guarded and with multiple entrances, it was Europe’s largest courthouse at the time of its opening in 2011.
