Turkey Middle School Shootings

The horrific violence at Ayser Calik Secondary School in Kahramanmaraş has shocked Turkey and raised urgent questions about gun control and school security.

Eight children and one teacher were among the dead in the latest attack, which follows a similar shooting that injured 16 people in a nearby province.

Panicked scenes unfolded as students fled the building while the principal attempted to disarm the teenage gunman.

The interior minister has vowed a full investigation into the 'rare and troubling' outbreak of school shootings that has gripped the nation this week.
