In Turkey, a tragic school shooting occurred when a 14-year-old student opened fire in two classrooms at a middle school, resulting in the deaths of nine people and injuries to 13 others. The shooter, who was killed during the incident, was armed with firearms believed to belong to his father, a retired police officer. This attack followed another shooting the previous day at a high school in a nearby province, where a former student wounded 16 people before taking his own life. School shootings are rare in Turkey, and the government has restricted media coverage of the events. The incidents have raised concerns about school safety and gun access in the country.
