British 2 Year Old Shot Dead in Turkey
Another tragic death today:

"A two-year-old boy from Lanarkshire (Scotland) has been shot dead in Turkey, the British Consulate has confirmed.

Alistair Grimason was caught up in a gun battle while he slept in his pram...

The incident took place in the village of Foca, near Ismir on the west coast of Turkey.

Alistair's uncle, Mark Grimason, said: "Ozlem (the child's mother) was in a restaurant with her mother and other friends when an argument broke out at another table between four men.

"One of the men opened fire on the other three.

"When the gunfire went off the restaurant was evacuated and only then did Ozlem spot blood on the pram. Alistair had been hit and he was dead."

It is understood police in Turkey are still hunting the gunman."
