Four Dead in Second School Shooting in Southern Turkey Within Two Days

At least four people have been killed and several others injured in a shooting at a school in southern Turkey, marking the second such incident in the region in as many days.

The attack occurred at Ayser Calik Secondary School in the Kahramanmaras area, according to local media reports.

Authorities have yet to confirm the identities of those killed or provide details about the suspect. The condition and whereabouts of the attacker remain unclear as investigations continue.

Kahramanmaras Governor Mukerrem Unluer said that at least 20 people were injured in the attack, with some reported to be in critical condition.

The shooting comes just a day after another violent incident at a high school in southern Turkey, where an ex-student opened fire, injuring multiple people before taking his own life.

The motive behind Wednesday’s attack has not yet been established. Officials have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Turkish media reports suggest the attacker entered two classrooms armed with multiple weapons, including five guns and seven magazines, which were allegedly owned by his father.

Witnesses described scenes of chaos and panic. A reporter for Turkish broadcaster NTV said the sound of gunfire was “very intense,” with crowds gathering outside the school as emergency services responded. Footage from the scene showed ambulances transporting victims while bystanders looked on, many recording the aftermath on their mobile phones.
