Pure batshit crazy.
Needlessly killed, in their 7th decade of life.

Two others were lightly injured at two other impact sites, according to Magen David Adom.

Bilgi University, one of Turkey's first private universities, which opened in the late 1990s, was shut down today by a presidential decree with no explanation. It was always a pleasure to visit there, fantastic students and faculty. This really hits hard for many.
