A
gunman has shot dead Russia's ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov,
apparently in protest at Russia's involvement in the Syrian conflict.
Several other people were reportedly also injured in the attack, a day
after protests in Turkey over Russia's military intervention in Syria.
According to Russian TV, the ambassador had been attending an exhibition
called "Russia as seen by Turks".
Police later "neutralised" the gunman, reports say, without giving details. Mr Karlov was rushed to hospital but his death was later confirmed. (video published prior to the news of death was released))
