Turkey 'coup': low flying jets and gunfire heard in Ankara
Gunshots were heard in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Friday, a Reuters witness said, as military jets and helicopters were seen flying overhead.
Reuters witnesses in Istanbul, Turkey's biggest city, also spotted helicopters overhead.
Broadcaster NTV reported that both of Istanbul's bridges across the Bosphorus, the strait separating the European and Asian sides of the city, had been closed to traffic.
It was not immediately clear if the events were related.

I couldn't watch the video and for some reason the full article doesn't load for me. What I got from the posts here and the bit I could read: So this is an illegal military coup by Turkey's own military? What are the possible reasons for this and who's giving them orders - are the top generals behind this?
I have some family visiting Istanbul - I hope they're ok
