Four Killed in Second Turkish School Shooting in Two Days

A school shooting in southern Turkey has resulted in at least four fatalities and multiple injuries, according to the local governor. The attack occurred at Ayser Calık Secondary School in the Kahramanmaraş region. Details about the victims and the attacker remain unclear, as no official confirmation has been released yet.

Earlier Attack in the Region

Just a day prior, another school in the same southern area faced a shooting incident. An ex-student opened fire at a high school, injuring 16 individuals before taking his own life. The total number of casualties from this event reached 20, with some in critical condition, reported Kahramanmaraş Governor Mükerrem Ünlüer.

Investigation Underway

Authorities are investigating the motive behind Wednesday’s attack. Turkish media indicated the suspect carried five firearms and seven ammunition magazines, which are believed to belong to his father. “The sound of gunfire was very intense,” noted a reporter for Turkish broadcaster NTV, describing the chaos at the scene. Witnesses reported widespread panic as the shooting unfolded.

Footage from the event captured crowds of people, some recording with mobile phones, while ambulances rushed to transport the injured. The rapid succession of attacks has raised concerns about security in the region, though no immediate links between the incidents have been established.
