Gunman Wounds 11 People Near Vocational High School in Western Turkey

An attacker opened fire near a vocational and technical high school in the Turgutlu district of Turkey's western Manisa province on Tuesday, wounding at least 11 people, according to Al Jazeera. Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said two of the wounded were in critical condition. Turkish broadcaster Haberturk reported that the assailant was a student at the school. The suspect was arrested, and Gurlek said the suspect's parents and grandfather, who owned the weapon used in the attack, had also been detained. Two chief prosecutors were appointed to investigate the shooting, including allegations that the student had been bullied at the school. Gurlek wrote on social media platform X that when the security of children is at stake, negligence or irresponsibility cannot be overlooked, adding that investigators were examining how the student obtained the weapon, how it had been stored, and the parents' supervisory obligations.
