Four killed in second Turkish school shooting in two days

A minimum of four individuals were fatally shot during a recent attack at Ayser Calik Secondary School in Kahramanmaras, southern Turkey, according to local authorities. The incident occurred following a day of unrest, as a separate shooting at a high school had already left 16 people wounded. The second attacker, identified as a former student, reportedly killed himself after opening fire.

Kahramanmaras Governor Mukerrem Unluer confirmed that at least 20 people were injured in the latest attack, with some in critical condition. The motive behind the violence remains unclear, prompting a formal investigation. Turkish media sources reported the assailant carried five firearms and seven ammunition clips, likely inherited from his father.

Details from the scene

“The sound of gunfire was very intense,” stated an NTV reporter, describing the chaos at the school. “Panic spread rapidly among students and staff.”

Footage captured at the location showed a crowd of onlookers, including individuals recording with mobile devices, as ambulances rushed to transport the wounded. The proximity of the two attacks has raised concerns about escalating threats in the region, though no official details have yet been released on the identities of the victims or the attacker’s background.
