Two masked gunmen attack an Istanbul church during Sunday Mass, killing one, says Turkey’s Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya. More were injured at the Santa Maria Church, according to reports.
Local media also report the deceased was a 72-year-old woman.
Yerlikaya says that “a large-scale investigation” has begun, as well as an effort to apprehend the attackers.
“We strongly condemn this vile attack,” he tweets.
