A gunman first encountered a police officer at the door to the club and killed the officer, he said. The attack then moved inside the club.
The club overlooks the Bosphorus strait, and some people jumped into the sea to flee, CNN reported.
One woman said her husband was in surgery after being shot three times. “It was terrifying,” Sinem Uyanık told Hürriyet. “One gunman was shooting trigger happy.”
She added she saw one gunman with an assault rifle as well as two others shooting with handguns.
“It smelled like gunpowder,” she told Hürriyet. “I fainted. Then regained consciousness. My husband was covered in blood. People were covered in blood. Then we called for an ambulance and police.”
Police and special forces then arrived, telling victims to stay on the ground as they searched for the attackers, she said. They were then allowed to leave and seek medical attention.
