“Today during a public event in Ankara an unknown attacker started firing chaotically, as a result of which the Turkish ambassador in Russia was wounded,” Russian news agencies cited spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Zakharova added that medics were trying to treat the envoy at the scene but that shooting continued, retracting an earlier report that he was taken to hospital.
