Turkey school shootings kill nine

The assailant reportedly used multiple weapons belonging to his father, a former police officer, to open fire on classmates in two separate classrooms.

Eight students and one teacher were among the fatalities in the city of Kahramanmaras.

Authorities have described the attack as a personal act rather than a terror incident, though the back-to-back nature of the shootings has shocked a nation where such violence is rare.

The government has launched a high-level inquiry into how the minor gained access to the firearms.
