Turkish Student Shoots 11 at Manisa School, Prompting Gun Control Scrutiny
A high school student in Turkey’s Manisa province opened fire outside a vocational school on Tuesday morning, injuring at least 11 pupils, two of whom are in critical condition. The suspect was detained, and his parents and grandfather, who owned the weapon, were also arrested. Justice Minister Akin Gurlek stated that investigations are underway regarding the weapon’s storage, parental supervision, and potential bullying. The incident follows two deadly school shootings in April that led to new security measures for the 2026-2027 academic year.
