  The Russian ambassador to Turkey was shot dead mid-speech at an art gallery in the capital Ankara on Monday by a gunman shouting "Don't forget Aleppo, don't forget Syria!"

  Andrey Karlov, 62, was several minutes into a speech at the embassy-sponsored exhibition, when a smartly dressed man wearing a black suit and tie shouted "Allahu Akbar," the Arabic phrase for "God is great," and fired at least eight shots, according an Associated Press photographer.

  Turkish police fatally shot the gunman, who Reuters sources say was an off-duty police officer who worked in Ankara. According to Turkey's interior minister, the gunman was 22-years-old, and had been a riot police officer in the city for the past two years.
