(Adds details, background) ANKARA, March 20 (Reuters) - Two people were wounded on Friday in a shooting in the Turkish Treasury building in Ankara, a source at the Treasury told Reuters. The source, who declined to be named, said police had sealed off the area. Television pictures showed an ambulance leaving the building. No more information was immediately available. Newspaper Hurriyet said on its website a driver at the Treasury had shot a woman, seriously wounding her, and he later tried to commit suicide. Police declined to comment. Earlier this month a man held a gun to his head in front of the Turkish Prime Minister's office in protest against economic conditions before surrendering to bodyguards.
