Deadly Gun Attack on Istanbul Church Leaves One Dead

Masked assailants targeted and killed one person during Sunday mass at an Italian church in Istanbul, claiming responsibility for the attack. Turkish officials initially believed it was a targeted attack against one person rather than the Catholic church, with the Islamic State jihadists claiming responsibility. The attackers were detained by Turkish police as they fled the scene, and the incident was swiftly condemned by Pope Francis, Turkish officials, and Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
