An ex-student opened fire at a vocational high school in Siverek (a district in Şanlıurfa province in south-eastern Turkey), injuring 16 people including students, teachers, and a police officer, before killing himself after being cornered by police. The attacker, described as being in his late teens, fired indiscriminately with a shotgun and entered at least two classrooms before the school was evacuated. The motive remains unknown, though local media reported the gunman had posted threats on the school's social media accounts days before the attack — a rare occurrence in a country where school shootings are uncommon.
