Woman Killed After Man Opens Fire During Street Argument in Turkey

A street argument escalated tragically in Yenimahalle on Tuesday, May 27, resulting in the death of a woman who was caught in the crossfire. The incident occurred around 9:00 PM on 602nd Street when a man, identified as Ü.A., reportedly got into an argument with two individuals feeding pigeons near his home.
