A six-hour gun battle at 2am in a Turkish village left three police officers and six ISIS militants dead on December 30. Officers İlker Pehlivan, Turgut Külünk, and Yasin Koçyiğit died storming a house in Elmalik where militants used women and children as human shields, refusing police pleas to surrender. Eight more officers and a night watchman were wounded before the standoff ended at 9:40am with all five women and six children evacuated safely.
