土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安表示，周一一名携步枪男子在土耳其南部一座城市发动连环袭击，造成至少6人死亡、8人受伤。
在梅尔辛省塔尔苏斯多个地点开枪后，这名枪手仍在逃，警方出动直升机和无人机协助搜捕。
官方媒体阿纳多卢通讯社报道称，此次袭击的37岁嫌疑人身份为梅廷·O，据称他先在一条街道上开枪打死了自己的妻子，随后在车内向一家餐厅开枪，造成餐厅老板和一名员工死亡。
该通讯社还称，嫌疑人随后在塔尔苏斯的另一个社区枪杀了一名青少年、一名50岁男子和另一名受害者。
据德米雷伦通讯社（DHA）消息，枪手据称驾车逃离了现场。
埃尔多安在内阁会议结束后发表讲话，对遇难者表示哀悼，但未提供有关枪手及其作案动机的信息。

“他一言不发地走进来……我们以为他要拿手机，结果他掏出了一把手枪，”土耳其健康与新闻通讯社（IHA）援引腿部中弹的餐厅员工穆罕默德·汉·托帕尔的话报道。
“我趴到地上，他朝我开了枪，”他说。
近期一系列枪击事件让土耳其陷入震动，引发了民众对枪支暴力和校园安全的担忧。上个月，卡拉曼马拉斯省南部一所学校发生袭击，造成10人死亡；仅一天前，邻近省份的一所学校枪击事件导致16人受伤。
根据土耳其一家非政府组织的数据，该国公民持有数千万支枪支，其中大部分没有合法许可。

Gunman kills 6 people, wounds 8 others in latest shooting rampage in Turkey
May 18, 2026 / 3:26 PM EDT / CBS/AP
A man armed with a rifle carried out a string of attacks in a city in southern Turkey on Monday, killing at least six people and wounding eight others, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
Police backed by helicopters and drones were searching for the assailant who remained at large after opening fire in several locations in Tarsus, in Mersin province.
The state-run Anadolu Agency said the 37-year-old suspect in the latest attack, identified as Metin O, allegedly shot and killed his wife in a street before firing from his car at a restaurant, killing its owner and an employee.
He is suspected of later killing a teenager, a 50-year-old man and one other person at another Tarsus neighborhood, the agency reported.
The assailant allegedly fled in a car, according to Demirören News Agency (DHA).
Erdogan, speaking following a Cabinet meeting, offered his condolences for the deaths but did not provide information on the gunman or his motives.

“He came in without a word… We thought he was getting his telephone out, but he brought out a pistol,” IHA quoted a restaurant employee, Mehmet Han Topal, who was wounded in the leg.
“I got down. He fired at me,” he said.
Turkey has been shaken by a series of recent shootings that have raised concerns over gun violence and school safety. Last month, an attack at a school in southern Kahramanmaras province left 10 people dead, while another school shooting just a day earlier injured 16 in a nearby province.
According to a Turkish NGO, there are tens of millions of firearms held by citizens, most of them without permits.
