Gunman opens fire near a high school in Turkey, wounding at least 11
Authorities said the suspect was detained as investigators examined the weapon’s ownership, storage and possible bullying before the attack.
- On Tuesday, a gunman opened fire outside the Inci Uzmez Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in Turgutlu, Manisa at 8:00 a.m., wounding eleven people, including students, before police detained the suspect.
- This shooting occurred one day after Education Minister Yusuf Tekin and Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci signed security protocols for the 2026-2027 academic year, following deadly April attacks that had prompted tighter gun controls.
- The April incidents included a 14-year-old who killed nine students and a teacher in Kahramanmaras while wounding 13 others, sparking national outrage and government pledges to restrict gun ownership.
- Separately, a former student wounded 16 people at a Sanliurfa high school on Monday before taking his own life, marking the second consecutive day of campus violence in Turkey.
- President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledged stricter gun controls and deployed 31,000 school grounds supervisors, stating that perpetrators aim to "terrorise society" in attacks around the world.
