                            Al Capone would be proud.

The day before yesterday in Istanbul's Esenyurt district there was a 
shootout between two groups in broad daylight, just like in the movies.
According to reports, a group of drunken louts in a car came to the
Atatürk neighborhood and began acting up.  Local residents objected
to this behavior and a faceoff ensued.

The drunken louts in the car opened fire on the local residents, who 
returned fire, with both groups using semi-automatic hunting rifles (!).  
The neighborhood invaders fled and, miraculously, no one was killed
or wounded in the firefight. 

Police determined the identities of two of those involved in the clash,
thanks to camera footage, and took H.C. and C.B. into custody.  H.C.
had a blank-shooting revolver in his possession and C.B. was seen to 
have been using a semi-automatic hunting rifle during the incident. 
Both of them were charged with "violating the law concerning firearms"
(!) and "intentionally disturbing the peace" and jailed.
