ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The Latest on the killing of Russia's ambassador to Turkey (all times local):

1:30 a.m.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says that the meeting of the foreign ministers of Russia, Turkey and Iran will be held Tuesday as planned after the killing of the Russian ambassador to Ankara.

The key meeting about Syria will be held in Moscow a day after Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov, who has been serving in Turkey since 2013, was shot during a speech at a photography exhibition in Ankara. The gunman was later killed by police.

Lavrov said in televised remarks that "we are sure that those who staged that barbaric crime were seeking to derail the process of normalizing Russia-Turkey ties primarily with a goal to prevent an efficient fight against terrorism in Syria."

Lavrov says that "this attempt is futile. The steps we will take at the meeting tomorrow will thwart the plans of the organizers of that crime." (asterisk)

Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency says four people have been detained following the assassination of the Russian ambassador in Turkey.

Turkish authorities say the shooter is 22-year-old Mevlut Mert Altintas, who has been serving in Ankara's riot police unit for the last two-and-a-half years.

Anadolu, without citing sources, said the shooter's family home in the western province of Aydin was searched and his mother, father and sister were detained.

Anadolu also says the man's house in Ankara was raided and his roommate, also a riot police officer, was detained.

Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov, who has been serving in Turkey since 2013, was shot during a speech at a photography exhibition in Ankara. Altintas was later killed by police.'
