Yep, my boss is in Turkey right now, he was told to stay inside.
reports the statements made by the Turkish Armed Forces were not made with the military command's consent. coup may be the work of rogue elements within the military and/or junior officers.

Apparently, Erdogen has been arrested.
the US base in Turkey is at its highest alert level (naturally)
Turkish Armed Forces statements now being broadcast on state TV meaning they've taken control of the broadcasting station(s). they cite Erdogan's autocratic rule and increased incidents of terrorism as their rationale.
msnbc reporting Erdogen denied landing rights in Istanbul. reporting he's seeking asylum in Germany
