Fatal Attack at Istanbul Courthouse Leaves Multiple Dead and Injured

One person was killed and two attackers were shot dead at a courthouse in Istanbul in what Turkish officials are calling a "terrorist act" blamed on the leftist group DHKP-C. Six people, including three police officers, were wounded in the attack. The assailants, alleged members of DHKP-C, were killed in a gun battle after opening fire on a checkpoint near the court. The incident follows a series of recent attacks in Turkey, including a church shooting by purported ISIL members and a suicide attack by the PKK.
