Russian Ambassador shot
Russian Ambassador to Turkey shot dead in Ankara

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?
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/...sador-shooting
And these two messages on the embassy website at https://tr.usembassy.gov/category/se...ency-messages/
1.
Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens: Ongoing Security Incident Near the U.S. Embassy
U.S. Embassy Ankara advises U.S. citizens that there is an ongoing security incident near the U.S. Embassy. All U.S. citizens should avoid the area near the U.S. Embassy compound until further notice. Personnel at the Embassy have been advised to remain there until they receive further instructions.
2.
Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens: Security Incident Near the U.S. Embassy Over; Avoid Area Until Tuesday, December 20
U.S. Embassy Ankara advises U.S. citizens that the immediate security incident near Embassy Ankara is over, but police activity continues. Embassy personnel have been permitted to leave the compound. Due to the ongoing police activity, we recommend you avoid the area at least until Tuesday morning, December 20. Please monitor local media for updates and information related to continued or additional police activities in Ankara.

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

Has to be Trump's fault. Any takers on when the left is going to start blaming him?

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