                  After and before his brain was left ajar.

An argument erupted among retired specialist sergeant Nevzat Acar

(pronounced like "ajar", as in "your door is ajar"), his wife Züleyha 

and children Nurseda and Oğulcan in their home on 4th Street, off 

Donanma Avenue in the central neighborhood of Gölcük in Kocaeli 

province.  

As the argument ballooned, Nevzat bey took out a revolver from his

waist, sprayed his family members with bullets (!) and then shot

himself.  Hearing the gunfire, neighbors called police and medics to

the house and Oğulcan was pronounced dead, while the others were 

taken to a hospital for treatment.  Züleyha hanım and Nevzat bey died

at the hospital and daughter Nurseda remains in critical condition.
