It is believed he is a 22-year-old Turkish police officer from Ankara and in the special forces

Definitely special forces or had training of some kind, look how he handles the weapon.

From the video the shooter does not appear to be any kind of Manchurian Candidate. The way he is shouting his message, the way he nervously paces back and forth, indicate to me an ideologically motivated gunman. If he was a victim of MK Ultra he would just kind of stand there, with a vacant look on his face.

Though that does not preclude the involvement of confederates.

If that's true then it would be a big worry for Turkey.

Turkish police officer, things are getting interesting

Translation from Pravda

Later it became known that the person who committed the attack on the Russian Ambassador in Ankara Andrew Charles, was eliminated during a police assault. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Putin was informed about the attack on the Russian ambassador in Ankara.

"The President was to verify the information president plans to hear the Minister for Foreign Affairs and heads of intelligence agencies.." - Peskov said.

The network has already appeared a video from the event. In addition, the attacked man was pictured. Issue Milli Gazete reported that terrorist 20-25 years.

According to the incident have already expressed to the US State Department. In states condemned the attack on the Russian ambassador. State Department spokesman John Kirby said in an interview to "Interfax":

- We have seen reports that the Russian ambassador in Turkey was attacked by an armed man. We condemn this act of violence, regardless of who committed it. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

I wonder how typical name is Andrew Charles .. also US was faster to comment than Putin

You can definitely see the flap of his sweater / jacket near the left side of his chest move from the round exiting...

Seems like the shooter knew enough to put the rounds towards the vital areas (i.e. looked professional).

Just saw this picture, it seems the shooter was his security guard? What about the guy next to him?

It's insane that we as a society will probably justify pulling thousands of men away from home just to die all because ONE man decided to shoot another. Thousands dead for nothing having to do with themselves, all political warmongering and most likely planned ahead of time just to start a war the decision makers don't fight have to fight in.

I'm sure the Russian narrative has been weaved into this conflict which will somehow pull America into it and have a lot of people supporting the decision. I'm sure this has been planned for years now, it's all to bring war-profiteers to the 'rescue'.

If Russia attack Turkey - it's going to raise the question of NATO support for Turkey once again.
All NATO country's will be involved immediately to decide whether to go to war with Russia in defence of Turkey.

That is what I think - planned.

Google translated Andrei Karlov, a common enough Russian name, as "Andrew Charles." Nothing to see there.

That guy do not appear much .. so most likely he just run away instead of doing anything...

Why would Russia want to attack Turkey?

Start WW3? No. US involved? No. Terror group involved? Yes. that is what terror groups do. Create fear and confusion.

The question is who is held responsible when Russia retaliates because it will happen.

Anything that drives a wedge between Turkey and Russia is good for the "Coalition", that 'unnamable' organization that 'doesn't exist' that runs turkey from Brussels and Washington.

Surely there must be a video Russia can blame this on.
