OPENED FIRE
In the incident that turned into a fight, H.Ç. went outside and began to randomly fire at the business with his gun. Two of the bullets that hit the shop's window and wall struck the hand and thigh of the business owner A.D.
KICKED THE INJURED PERSON ON THE GROUND
The injured business owner began to chase H.H.Ç., who was trying to escape from the scene after firing 12 shots, with a knife in his hand. A.D. struck the retired police officer in the back with the handle of the knife, causing him to fall to the ground. A.D. then collapsed in the middle of the street due to pain and blood loss.
