Turkish footballer Mehmet Topal survives gun attack

A police report mentioned it as an accident and not a murder attempt, local media said on Wednesday.

Fenerbahce said gunmen fired shots at Topal as he was driving home from training and his car's bulletproof windscreen saved the players.

"This was a terrorist attack. We condemn these armed attacks on our players and hope justice will prevail," Fenerbahce said in a statement.

"Our players were fortunate to be travelling in a vehicle with bulletproof glass."
