Turkish Woman Shot Over Singing Contest

A 19-year-old Turkish woman was shot in the head after she decided to join a national singing contest. Mutlu Kaya is in critical condition after an unknown gunman broke into her yard and shot her through the window. She had recently gotten through the singing show's pre-selection, but began receiving death threats from her father's tribe in the southern part of the country. “When they heard that I was going to join the competition, they told me they would kill me. I am afraid,” Kaya reportedly told the show’s production team.
