The attacker was a 17-year-old with psychological problems who was travelling with his family and who had taken his father's gun, Sanliurfa Governor Gungor Azim Tuna told reporters.
The youth opened fire on three police officers as they asked people at the bus station for their identify papers and then fled before opening fire on another group of police.
