A clash broke out between rival student groups at ankara university‘s Faculty of Language, History and Geography on Thursday, with around 46 students detained.

Students who were injured by sticks and stones thrown during the fighting were taken to nearby hospitals by ambulance.

One man, reportedly a security guard, was shot by his gun during the tumult; however, it is not known whether he mistakenly shot himself or if the gun was fired by someone else.

Teams from Ankara Police Department’s homicide unit, counterterrorism bureau and crime scene investigation department have been dispatched to the university. Dozens of police officers have also been assigned to the campus and have put security measures in place.

The incident comes on the heels of the killing of a nationalist student at another university in a similar clash. Fırat Yılmaz Çakıroğlu was killed during a fight between supporters of the opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) at İzmir-based Ege University last week.
