Shots Fired at US Embassy in Turkey

Unknown attackers fired shots at a security booth outside the US Embassy in Turkey's capital early Monday, but US officials said no one was hurt. The Ankara governor's office said six shots were fired from a moving white car toward the embassy compound at 5:30am, the AP reports. Three of the bullets hit the gate and a window. The statement from the governor's office said the investigation was ongoing and the suspect or suspects have not yet been identified. US Embassy spokesman David Gainer thanked police for their "rapid response" and said no injuries had been reported. The US mission is closed this week as Turkey celebrates the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. (More Turkey stories.)
