A U.S. citizen who lived in Turkey is among the nine people killed when Israeli commandos stormed a Turkish aid ship heading for the Gaza Strip, officials said today. The victim was identified as Furkan Dogan, 19, a Turkish-American. A forensic report said he was shot at close range, with four bullets in his head and one in his chest, according to the Anatolian news agency.
Dogan was a high school student studying social sciences in the town of Kayseri in central Turkey. He was born in the United States and moved to Turkey at the age of 2. He will be buried in his hometown tomorrow.
The body was returned to Turkey today along with eight others, all Turkish nationals, who were on board the Mavi Maramara.

You don't get to make up your own alternative facts, though, just because you don't believe the reporter.
Nice grouping of shots there.
Targeted Turk,
Took Out
The reporter has proven that she's incapable of getting even the most simple and straightforward "facts" correct. It's not a stretch to believe she transposed the the numbers when reporting the wounds. I don't get to make up facts, but I do get apply common sense. My common sense tells me that people who train every day of their lives don't shoot someone four times in the head, and once in the chest. That's just not they way they're taught or trained to engage aggressors. It's not plausible, at all.
This U.S. now is full of people whose allegiance to it is suspect, at best.
At the risk of being a reactionary, I think we do have to revisit granting citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’ And, we seriously have to look at the process of granting citizenship through naturalization.
Not that long ago, people had to renounce their homeland citizenship and did so gladly. Now too many want the perks of US citizenship, but to retain their allegiance to the old country, People used to have to study and be able to answer basic questions about the US and its Constitution and history. They used to have to attend personally a naturalization ceremony. And they used to love it and their new country.
There was a time, not that long ago, when naturalized citizens were the strongest, most ‘American’ folks around. They loved this country and all it stood for. Frankly, I am not seeing much of that any more.
Everything is a "black eye" for the IDF. Damned if they do and damned if they don't. In which case, they might as well "do."
I hope this is just the beginning of a many, many dead Palestinian terrorism supporters. May the IDF kill every damn last one of them.
The Mediterranean Turkey Shoot
Thanks for posting that. It's a more than a bit disingenuous for ABC to not point out that is the Turkish State news agency, don't you think?
In the interest of respect for their reader, you'd think that journalistic integrity would demand that they make that information clear in their reporting, and then let the reader make an informed decision on its credibility, or lack thereof.
“...with four bullets in his head and one in his chest,..”
With four in his chest and one in his head, I’d say he’s pretty Furkan’ dead....
Was that wrong? Was that mean? Harsh? Do I care?
Anyone remember Benjamin Linder?
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
The terrorists on the boats were armed and not in uniform. The proper action was summary execution.
Yes the IDF bought the “peaceful” propaganda.
This was a set up to make sure future ARMS flotillas get in to GAZA unmolested.
ISRAEL, Furk yeah!
You had to go and ruin a good thing there, didn't you, Skippy?
Her lack of squash-age will surely be remedied infinite-fold at her eternal destination.
Good shooting! One less Obama voter.
“Let’s cut to the chase: 4 shots at close range to the head and one to the chest sounds a lot more like a case of shooting the wounded, than an indication of “good shooting.””
Who cares. I could only be more happy if he was gut shot and died in agony — he’s a terrorist and deserved to die.
Let this be a lesson to other terrorists.
“Furkan Dogan” — nice and easy to mispronounce...
....the town of Kayseri in central Turkey..
Kayseri was once called Caesarea, and the Cappadocian Father Basil the Great was a Bishop there.
Much, much later, it was the home of the family of the great Greek-American filmmaker Elia Kazan.
