LONDON (Reuters) – Prime Minister Theresa May told parliament on Monday she was concerned about reports that Russia’s Turkish ambassador had been shot in the capital Ankara.
“I was just looking at what I believe … is some breaking news, that the Russian ambassador to Turkey has been shot, a matter which is yet to be confirmed, but I think is a matter of concern,” May said in the middle of a question and answer session.
The ambassador was seriously wounded in a gun attack at an art gallery in Ankara and after May spoke, Russian news agency RIA said he had died of his wounds.
