Apparently Turan punched the singer after being confronted for making advances at the singer's wife, then visited him in hospital with a gun and asked the singer to shoot him, he refused so Turan shot at the floor... bit weird
Turan is very close to Erdogan and helped with his campaigning. I wrote on here before that a Turk told me it is heavily discussed to point of being accepted as 'fact' by many in Turkey that Erdogan's Govt helped fund Turan's move to Barcelona to give him a big platform during the campaign and then also later paid to transfer him to Basaksehir (Erdogans club - his brother in law runs it, companies who sponsor them 'win' big govt tenders etc) where he spends his time sitting on the bench earning the biggest wage in the league while attending swanky government do's here and there.
I wouldn't be massively surprised if he somehow avoided prison
