Eight members of the same family, including three children, have been shot dead in a flat in the southern Turkish city of Adana, officials say.
Adana Governor Ilhan Atis told NTV television that a man had been arrested and had confessed to the killings.
The victims, who were shot in the head, were the suspect's parents, sister, brother, sister-in-law and three nephews, the Anatolia news agency said.

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
