Two police officers and a gunman were killed Friday in a shootout in the southeastern Turkish city of Elazig, a local news agency reported.
Police early Friday raided an apartment in Elazig, which they believe was used as a base by a political group.
Two police officers were killed and one was injured when shooting broke out between the police and the group's militant who was in the apartment, according to the Anatolia news agency.
The militant was killed, while police arrested the man's wife and three children, Anatolia added. Police found weapons and explosives in the apartment, Anatolia said.
Elazig is an estimated 750 kilometers east of the capital Ankara. (Albawaba.com)
