Manhunt in southern Türkiye ends as shooter takes own life after killing 6

MERSİN

A massive manhunt for a gunman who killed six people in southern Türkiye ended early on May 19 when he turned the gun on himself after being cornered by police.

The 37-year-old suspect had fled to a forested area after going on a rampage with a gun near Tarsus, which lies between the southern cities of Mersin and Adana, in which he shot dead six people and wounded another eight.

The man had reportedly shot his ex-wife dead before heading out on a murderous spree.
