Türkiye rocked by second school shooting in two days

People were killed in the Kahramanmaras attack, the local governor has said.

A gunman has opened fire at a secondary school in the city of Kahramanmaras in south-eastern Türkiye, a local governor has said. It is the second such incident in the country in as many days. An attack on an educational institution in Siverek on Tuesday left 17 wounded.

The second school shooting, which took place in the Onikisubat District of Kahramanmaras, resulted in four people being killed and 20 others being wounded, Governor Mukerrem Unluer said on Wednesday.

The fatalities include a teacher and three students, the governor said. At least four of those injured have been hospitalized in serious condition, he added.

Unluer said that the attacker was an eighth-grade student from the same school. He could have obtained the firearms from his father, who is a former police officer, he said.

According to the governor, the assailant, who had five pistols on him, entered two classrooms and opened fire there. He committed suicide after carrying out the shooting.

The chairman of the provincial branch of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), Unal Ates, told Cumhuriyet newspaper that, according to his data, the attacker had mental issues and was known at the school as “a problematic child.”

Ates also claimed that the number of fatalities was higher than the official figures and that at least 35 people were wounded in the incident.

Videos from the scene captured students fleeing the school en mass during the attack, with some jumping out of second floor windows.



Footage also showed at least one dead body being placed in an ambulance.

    Israel’s actions i southern Lebanon is to kill as many Christians as possible as a blood sacrifice to Molech.
    J3w$ do this every chance they get…
    And the silly-ass stupid (and I mean; F@#KING STUPID!!!) American ‘Evangelical Christians’ continue to promote the J3w$ as ‘God’s Chosen People’ despite the Zionist actions indicating otherwise.
    Imagine being brainwashed by religious institutions into accepting the lie that the J3w$ are ‘God’s Chosen’ whilst denigrating and minimalising your own existence as a so-called ‘Christian’, and rolling over and accepting this Zionist-led false doctrine!
    Pigs like Lindsey Graham, John Hagee, and an entire host of Tele-Evangelicals who promote this lie and uplift the Synagogue of Satan’ (Israel, the Zionists, the J3w$ and the Mossad-infiltrated Masonic Lodges and their affiliates in the Universities working as Fraternities and Soroities..).
