A Turkish teenager was killed and four other people wounded Sunday when a gunman opened fire on two beach clubs in the upscale Aegean resort of Bodrum in western Turkey, reports say.
The gunman in the early hours of Sunday fired indiscriminately 26 times around two nightclubs on the seafront in the popular resort, the Hurriyet daily said.
Waiter Furkan Say, 18, later died of his wounds in hospital. Two other waiters were wounded along with one customer. It was also reported that Zeynep Molho, the wife of Turkish TV personality Jess Molho, was also injured.
There was no information on the identity or motive of the gunman and Hurriyet said police were seeking to catch the perpetrator.
Security has been heightened at nightclubs in Turkey after an Uzbek gunman went on the rampage at an Istanbul club on January 1, killing 39 people, most of them foreigners.
That attack was later claimed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant jihadists.
However there was no indication from the authorities of any militant link in the Bodrum incident.
