2 killed in fight outside Turkey polling station

None

Turkey's state-run news agency says two people have died in a fight outside a polling station in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir.

 

Anadolu news agency said a quarrel between two families turned deadly Sunday in a village school's garden where people were casting their votes on Turkey's referendum.

 

Voters are deciding Sunday whether to approve or reject changes that greatly expand the president's powers.

 

The agency said the reasons for the fight were unknown. The private Dogan news agency reported it as caused by "differences in political opinion."

 

One person remains hospitalized, and two others have been detained in the incident.
