The legal process has begun in Istanbul after a police officer accidentally shot his childhood friend while demonstrating his service pistol. The incident resulted in the friend's death. The suspect, Ahmet Ç., claimed during the trial that the shooting was an accident. He explained that he visited his friend's workplace after a physiotherapy appointment and did not realize the gun had discharged, thinking his friend's claim of being shot was a joke. The victim's family members, Ergün Özkök and Ayşe Özkök, demanded justice and the harshest penalties for the officer. The court decided to detain the suspect, and the trial was adjourned. The incident has sparked public attention and ongoing judicial scrutiny.
