A prison guard at Ankara’s Sincan jail allegedly killed three of his colleagues in a mass shooting as the guards were commuting to work at 7:30 a.m. this morning.

The shooting occurred following a fight that broke out on the guards’ service bus, according to initial reports. Emre Ençok is accused of shooting down colleagues Ali Duran, Çelebi Aygün and Mustafa Halıcı before attempting to escape. The assailant, however, was captured and taken to Etimesgut Police Station.

Seda Duran, wife of the murdered Ali Duran, was also heavily injured and hospitalized after the shooting.

The bodies of the three guards remain on the bus pending the arrival of the prosecutor and a crime-scene investigation team.
