1 Dead, 8 Injured in Armed Fight at Wedding; 3 Detained, Moment of Escape of Fugitives Caught on Camera

Last night around 23.00, a horrific incident occurred at a wedding hall located on Fakıuşağı Mahallesi Prof. Dr. Kazım Tülücü Bulvarı. It is reported that an argument broke out between two groups during the wedding ceremony for a reason that has not yet been determined. It was recorded that the argument quickly escalated into an armed fight and the incident spilled outside the wedding hall. As a result of gunfire opened with a rifle during the fight, a total of 8 people, including H.G., were injured in various parts of their bodies. Upon the escalation of the incident, a large number of police and medical teams were dispatched to the area.

Medical teams arriving at the scene performed first aid on the injured on site. Following the initial interventions, the injured were taken to various nearby hospitals by ambulances. Doctors struggled for a long time to save H.G., who was taken to the hospital in critical condition. However, despite all medical interventions, H.G. could not be saved and lost his life. It was learned that the treatment of the other injured continues at the hospitals and it has not been clarified whether they have life-threatening conditions.

Police teams, who immediately started working after the incident, launched a large-scale investigation regarding the matter. As a result of the examinations and follow-up work, 3 suspects, who were determined to be involved in the armed fight, were detained. It was reported that the detained suspects were taken to the police station to have their statements taken. In addition, it was announced that operations are continuing uninterruptedly in the area to capture 2 suspects who were determined to be involved in the incident and whose identities were identified. Security forces continue to examine security cameras in the vicinity and other evidence to capture the fugitive suspects in a short time.

On the other hand, the moments when the suspects, who fled after the incident, were moving away were recorded second by second with a citizen's mobile phone camera nearby. In the footage, two suspects are seen getting on a motorcycle and leaving the scene at high speed. In addition, another suspect holding a pump-action rifle is seen running away through the crowd. This footage is considered an important piece of evidence in understanding the scale of the incident and how violent the fight was. In a statement made by the authorities, it was confirmed that the suspect fleeing with a pump-action rifle in the footage was later caught by police teams and is among those taken into custody.

This tragic event has once again revealed that even celebration-oriented events like weddings can unexpectedly become the scene of violent incidents. The uncontrolled use of weapons and momentary tensions between groups leading to devastating consequences were painfully exposed in this incident. The loss of one person's life and the injury of eight people reveal the grave consequences of the incident and the deep sorrow experienced by the families. Police teams are continuing the investigation in all its details to determine exactly what caused the incident and who started the fight. Following the completion of the interrogations of the suspects detained within the scope of the investigation, they are expected to be referred to the courthouse, and the fugitive suspects are also expected to be caught as soon as possible.
