Disgruntled Turkey worker kills 6

A disgruntled former employee burst into a government agency in eastern Turkey on Wednesday, shooting dead six staff before taking his own life. The gunman took his one-time colleagues hostage at the Turkish Statistical Institute in the city of Kars and then embarked on a wild shooting spree that has also left many people injured, officials said. Development Minister Cevdet Yilmaz said the assailant was a former employee who had been blocked from any promotion after facing administrative sanctions, according to AFP.
