Major news outlets are still reporting that he has only been injured, but from photos, videos and eyewitness reports, it's highly likely that he's dead.

The attacker can be heard to shout "Allahu Akbar, don't forget Aleppo, don't forget about Syria, those responsible for these atrocities have to pay the price, only death can stop me"

This was at an event in Turkey ironically titled "How Turkey sees Russia"

The gunman was reportedly a member of his protection team.

Well they didnt use to be. There has been a lot of NSFW videos/pictures on this site like from terror attacks in France

Well done, jackass. I'm sure Russia will just pack up and leave now that you've made it 100x easier for them to justify any action in the area

Holy fuck, pls just no atomic shit, neither bombing civilians. Not bombing military bases is probably a bit too much too ask at this point.

Given normal conditions ofc not, but the tension was already there. And it got to it's peak.

The attacker can be heard to shout "Allahu Akbar, don't forget Aleppo, don't forget about Syria, those responsible for these atrocities have to pay the price, only death can stop me"

Strange thing to say. It sounds like the ambassador said something and the bodyguard snapped.

Apparently guy was off-duty policeman though so couldn't have been a bodyguard, unless I'm reading/understanding you wrong. The ambassador was speaking about Russia-Turkey relations but no specifics on what was said for what I'm reading so far.

Be suspicious of anyone who claims to be able to tell the future based on this event, particularly during the next 24 hours. The number of people making crazed predictions all over the internet and news media is incredible.

Good news for Turkey is they killed the gunman right away. That will please Putin and probably help calm the storm.

We should get away from this incident with nothing more than harsh words and a bombing raid over Syria that makes the one when the plane was shot down look small.

Well, we couldn't end 2016 without something like this, could we?

Russia-Turkey relations are fragile enough that this is exactly what is not needed right now.
