Chilling CCTV footage has shown the moment male and female terrorists stormed the headquarters of a defence company in Turkey, leaving at least four people dead and 14 injured.
THE TERROR ATTACK
Attackers wielding rifles launched an assault on the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) near the capital Ankara at around 4pm local time (1300 GMT).
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said three of the injured were in critical condition and that two attackers ‘a woman and a man, have been neutralised’.
He said work was under way to determine their identities and the organisation they belong to but did not say whether there were any other attackers still at large.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed the number of victims and condemned the ‘heinous’ attack.
Explosions and gunshots were heard outside the building this afternoon, with pictures from the scene showing a fireball erupting and a large plume of smoke rising near the front of the complex.

WHAT INVESTIGATION REVEALS
Unconfirmed reports in local media suggested that a suicide bomber targeted the entrance gate before attackers clashed with security services.
CCTV footage shows heavily armed attackers, one of whom is believed to be a woman, entering the facility as terrified staff take cover behind tables.
Turkish special forces were dispatched to the scene, with video showing dozens of soldiers heading to the site. Firefighters, medics and a helicopter were also dispatched.
