One dead, 10 injured in Istanbul attacks
2015-08-10
[CNN] One person was reported killed and 10 others were injured after an Istanbul police station was attacked early Monday, first with a bomb and then guns. Two attackers were also killed after police returned fire, according to Turkey's semi-official Anadolu news agency.
Reports on Twitter say a higher number of Turkish policemen are dead.
The violence started around 1 a.m. in the Sultanbeyli district when a vehicle-bomb exploded near the police station, injuring at least 10 people. Then, around 6:45 a.m., attackers opened fire on security forces who were guarding the damaged police station.

Two assailants were killed in the gunfight, and a police officer who was injured later died at the hospital.

Also Monday, shots were fired near the U.S. consulate in Istanbul. Turkish authorities have detained one person suspected of involvement in the shooting and are searching for another.
