Four Killed in Second Turkish School Shooting in Two Days
Following a shooting at Ayser Calik Secondary School in Kahramanmaras, southern Turkey, at least four individuals lost their lives, and several others were wounded, stated the local governor. The attack occurred just a day after an ex-student unleashed gunfire at another high school in the same region, injuring 16 people before taking his own life.
Authorities have yet to confirm the identities of the victims or the attacker’s fate. Kahramanmaras Governor Mukerrem Unluer reported that 20 people were injured during the latest incident, with some in critical condition. The motive behind Wednesday’s attack remains unclear, prompting a full investigation into the events.

Turkish media noted that the shooter carried five firearms and seven ammunition magazines, believed to belong to his father. “The sound of gunfire was very intense,” said a reporter for NTV, describing the scene as “panic in front of the school.” The footage captured crowds of people, some using mobile phones to film, and ambulances departing the area.
