Turkey School Shootings Shock Nation

The tragedy comes just one day after a separate shooting at a high school in a nearby province injured 16 people, prompting a massive police crackdown on online praise for the attacks.

Authorities have ordered the arrest of 83 individuals accused of inciting violence or glorifying the shooters on social media.

The suspect in the Kahramanmaras attack reportedly used a WhatsApp profile image referencing a 2014 U.S. mass killer, raising concerns about the influence of extremist content on young people.

The Turkish government has vowed to strengthen security at schools and implement stricter anti-violence measures across the country.
