Former student opens fire at Turkish high school, wounds 16 before killing himself


A former student opened fire at a vocational high school in southeastern Turkey on Tuesday, injuring at least 16 people before taking his own life, according to officials.

The 18-year-old attacker used a shotgun to fire randomly inside the school in Siverek in Sanliurfa province before briefly taking cover inside the building. Authorities said he later died by suicide using the same weapon after being cornered by police.

Officials said those injured included 10 students, four teachers, a cafeteria worker, and a police officer. Several victims were treated locally, while five students and teachers with more serious injuries were transferred to a hospital in the provincial capital.

The motive for the attack is still unknown, and such incidents are considered rare in Turkey. Authorities said all students were evacuated from the school as police units responded and worked to secure the building.

Video from the scene showed students running out of the school and gathering outside as emergency responders arrived. A full investigation into the shooting is underway.
