At least nine people, including eight students and a teacher, were killed in a shooting at a secondary school in Turkey’s southeastern Kahramanmaraş province on Wednesday. Authorities said thirteen others were injured, six of them critically. Interior Minister Mustafa Ali Yerlikaya confirmed that the attacker was a 14-year-old student from the same school and described the incident as a personal attack unrelated to terrorism.
According to the provincial governor, the student shot himself after the attack. He reportedly brought five firearms and seven magazines to school in a bag, believed to belong to his father, a former police officer. The shooter opened fire in two fifth-grade classrooms, where children are typically aged 10 to 11. The suspect’s father has been detained for questioning, local media reported.
The attack marks the second school shooting in Turkey within two days, following an incident in Şanlıurfa province that injured at least 16 people. The rare recurrence of such violence has raised public concern over school security, prompting the government to pledge heightened safety measures.
