Gunman OPENS FIRE & tries to STORM US embassy in Ankara after Russian diplomat is murdered


Embassy

AN ARMED gunman has been arrested after attempting to enter the US embassy in Ankara with a weapon just hours after a Russian ambassador was assassinated.

 The embassy was placed on lockdown following the horrific killing of Russian ambassador, Andrei Karlov, was shot dead in the city.

The man fired at least one shot in the air, reports have claimed, but was apprehended by authorities shortly after.
 Staff have now been given permission to leave the compound following the "security incident"
The US State Department for Travel earlier advised all US citizens in the area to steer clear from the embassy while the "ongoing security incident" was fully dealt with.
The embassy is approximately 2.5 miles from where Mr Karlov, on an official visit to Turkey as a representative for Russia, was brutally assassinated.
