This will be interesting to see what is sparked.
Allegedly shouting about Aleppo
(Should I notice anything about how he is holding the handgun?)

That he was with the police, perhaps:

HAH!
The alleged that he was with the police looks like it from document and action.
Unless of course this was Putin again.

Here is a little longer video starting close to when the shooting started. Note the time at the end of the video with still no security response.

Uh-oh. This is how WWI started.
The shooter was a 22-year-old "special operations" police officer. He was killed, eventually, by Turkish security forces. A photo can be found on line of his body surrounded by a lot of bullet holes. Also looks like his magazine took a hit since the spring is hanging out the bottom.

My bad, seen more photos. Appears he was the party.
Can't stream YouTube right now so please if someone can confirm. He was the security detail and did the deed.

Not sure if he was on the detail, if there even was one. But he was the only dude behind the ambassador, from what I've seen. BBC has confirmed his identity-name, age, police status.
What Ambassador moves without a PSD? The video shows he as no security, other than his assassin.

Has anyone heard of a separate incident outside the U.S. embassy in Ankara about the same time the Russian ambassador was killed?

Heard a bit from non-US news sources.
Nothing from the MSM... I'm sure that will change on January 21st.

Stop living in the past. There's a whole new administration to start blaming. Do try and keep up, 007.

It was Putin... He needed an excuse to ramp up pressure in Syria

Russia won't go to war over this. If they have likely suspects they will just retaliate in kind.

Perhaps Putin is cleaning up something he doesn't want to get out, or these guys weren't displaying 100% agreement with his policies.

Good chance they are KGB aka SVR or GRU?
I remember a story from the cold war about the PLO making the mistake of taking some Russians as hostage. The PLO involved were taken and the heads sent back in a box. Wonder who is huntig Russians? Who ever it is will be sorry.
LINK (http://articles.latimes.com/1986-01-07/news/mn-13892_1_soviets)
The Jerusalem Post said the Soviet secret police last year secured the release of three kidnaped Soviet diplomats in Beirut by castrating a relative of a radical Lebanese Shia Muslim leader, sending him the severed organs and then shooting the relative in the head.

Who ever it is will be sorry.Actually they sent family-member parts to those PLO who, for some reason, developed a change of heart. But yes, someone has broken some "rules" and this is not taken lightly.
