Four Killed in Second Turkish School Shooting in Two Days
Shooting at Ayser Calik Secondary School
At least four individuals lost their lives during a shooting at Ayser Calik Secondary School, located in Kahramanmaras, southern Turkey, as reported by the local governor. Multiple others sustained injuries in the attack. Officials have not yet confirmed the identities of the victims or the attacker’s current status. The incident follows a similar attack at a high school in the same region, where an ex-student opened fire before taking his own life, leaving 16 people wounded.
Investigation and Weapon Details
Kahramanmaras Governor Mukerrem Unluer stated that the second shooting resulted in 20 injuries, with some patients in critical condition. The motive remains unclear, prompting authorities to launch an inquiry. Turkish media disclosed that the perpetrator carried five firearms and seven ammunition clips, likely belonging to his father. “The gunfire was deafening,” noted a reporter for NTV, describing the chaos at the school. “Panic spread quickly among those present.”
Scene and Witness Accounts
Footage from the scene captured a flurry of activity, including crowds of onlookers, individuals recording events on mobile devices, and emergency vehicles departing swiftly. The rapid response highlighted the urgency of the situation, though details of the attack’s progression are still emerging. Officials continue to assess the aftermath and gather information to determine the full scope of the tragedy.
