A second school shooting in Turkey has claimed four lives, with multiple others reported wounded, according to the local governor. The attack occurred at Ayser Calik Secondary School in Kahramanmaras, as detailed by regional media outlets. Details about the victims and the attacker’s fate remain unconfirmed, though authorities are actively assessing the situation.
Previous Attack Leaves 16 Injured
The incident follows a similar attack at another high school in the southern region the previous day. A former student opened fire before taking his own life, resulting in 16 injuries. Kahramanmaras Governor Mukerrem Unluer stated that at least 20 people were wounded in the latest assault, some of whom are in critical condition.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the motive behind Wednesday’s shooting.
