"MY CHILD CALLED ME AT THAT MOMENT"
Taner K., describing the armed attack his son experienced, said, "My son has been renting a vehicle for 5-6 months. There are bullies roaming the neighborhood like a gang. They want to take the car from him. He doesn't give it. There are armed attacks against my child, threats, messages from different numbers, insults, and profanity. We have complained about this thousands of times, but in the end, they shot my child today. They will operate on my child in 15 days. A bullet remained in his foot. Those who did it before the incident were taken but released. How many children have they beaten here? While my child was getting a haircut, someone else was messaging. 'Where is your brother?' they said. Then they followed my child. As he was leaving here, they came running after him. They swore and fired from behind. That's how the incident happened. My child called me at that moment. 'Dad, they shot me,' he said. We were shocked. We threw ourselves outside. The police came. We took the child to the hospital. My child is still in the hospital now."
