Unconfirmed reports saying Erdogan has been arrested at naval base.
Edit: Not too sure on this one. The 3 rumours are:
He's heading to Ankara by jet.
He's been detained.
He's at nearest police/naval base under protection

Risk of civil war: low.
The military is the backbone of society there and they will not let things get that far.

Turkey has a long tradition of military coups. This will be no different.

Seeing that Turkey is a member of NATO I don't think the military would've acted without the tacit support of the West.

Erdogan claiming to fight back and he will be victorious against rebels, seemed like he was in a hotel room.

Stand off between police (supposedly pro Erdogan, prime minister called to defend the streets) and army on the Taksim square, for now it remains calm.
