At least four people, including a police officer, were killed in two gun attacks in Turkish capital Ankara on Friday.

A police officer opened fire and killed his female colleague and another civilian in Dikmen district of Ankara. The area has been cordoned off, Xinhua reported.

Meanwhile, a person released from prison shot and killed a civilian, injured another and then committed suicide in Mamak district of Ankara.
