At least four people have been killed and 20 others wounded in a shooting at a secondary school in the southern province of Kahramanmaras, Turkiye. Al Jazeera's Sinem Koseoglu reported from Istanbul that the assailant, a 13-year-old student, entered the school building with five pistols and seven magazines — presumed to have been obtained through his retired police officer father — and began randomly firing in two classrooms, killing a teacher and three others. The incident marks the second school shooting in two days, following a similar attack on Tuesday in Sanliurfa's Siverek district where an 18-year-old former student opened fire with a shotgun, wounding 16 people before killing himself. While Turkiye has strict gun laws, access to weapons through family members with police or military connections has become a growing concern. Social media is now flooded with reactions, with many Turks questioning school safety and the psychological impact of online content on teenagers. The interior ministry had recently been studying potential restrictions on social media for teenage users.
