Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

The suspect in the Afyonkarahisar shooting that killed eight people purchased the hunting rifle used in the attack roughly one month earlier for 12,000 Turkish lira from a person who was in prison serving time for another offense, authorities have determined. The weapon's relatively modest price underscores how easily a legally sold shotgun can be acquired in Turkey. The massacre has renewed scrutiny of Turkey's permissive hunting-rifle regulations, which require less licensing than handguns. Investigators are now tracing the gun's ownership chain and the seller's legal status at the time of the sale.
