A white car parked here, and a cream-colored car parked in front of it. Suddenly, gunshots started. We ran in different directions. The clash lasted for about a minute, the men were professional. One of the men who got out of the white car threw away his gun and ran to the çiğköfteci (a type of restaurant). The others followed him and continued shooting there. Then they got in the car and fled. They were very professional, very calm, and then we went and intervened with the injured," he said.
