Second faculty capturing in two days leaves 4 useless in Turkey

At least four people were killed and six people were wounded in a shooting at a school in Turkey.

The armed attack took place at the Ayser Calık Secondary School in Kahramanmaras on Wednesday, marking the second such incident in as many days.

Following the initial reports of the shooting, emergency medical teams and ambulances were immediately dispatched to the scene. 

No other details were immediately available and local authorities have stated that the attacker’s identity has not yet been determined. 

Images from the scene captured pupils and teachers fleeing the school building.

It comes just a day after a 17-year-old gunman stormed a school in Turkey’s Siverek district, leaving 16 people injured.

The attacker then took his own life with his shotgun when police attempted to apprehend him at the scene. 

Governor Hasan Sildak said the shooter was a former student of the school and entered the school grounds before he began firing randomly. 

The assailant had attended the school for one year in the ninth grade, the governor added. 

He also confirmed that the attacker had no prior criminal record and that the school had previously been classified as safe by police. 

An official statement issued by the Turkish interior ministry said that a total of 10 students, four teachers, one police officer and one canteen operator were injured in the attack. 

School shootings are very rare in Turkey.
