ANKARA, Turkey, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- A prison guard opened fire on an employee shuttle bus Tuesday killing three of his fellow guards and injuring a fourth, police in Turkey said.

Witnesses told police Encok yelled, "How could you do that to me?" before opening fire.

Initial reports indicate he accused colleagues of slander.
