Turkey – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – In a sad event on Monday, two police officers were killed and two more were hurt. This happened during a shooting at a police station near Izmir, Turkey. A government minister shared that a 16-year-old boy has been caught by police.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya called the event a “terrible attack.” It took place in the Balcova area, close to the popular city of Izmir. The minister confirmed two officers died and a third was very badly injured. He also stated that the young suspect, known as E.B., is now under arrest and that an official investigation has begun.
