Gunmen open fire at Şişli municipal building in Istanbul downtown

Armed gunmen opened fire late Jan. 27 on the municipal building of Şişli, one of the most vibrant and central districts on Istanbul’s European side. The attack caused no casualties, police said, although the assault seemed to target Mustafa Sarıgül, the Republican People’s Party’s (CHP) candidate for Istanbul mayor and the current mayor of Şişli, ahead of the March 30 local elections.
