being detained, Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said. The suspect's parents and grandfather were also taken into custody as investigators probe the attack, which drew police, rescuers, and panicked parents to the scene. CCTV footage aired by DHA showed a young man in black jeans, a black jacket, and a green top carrying what appeared to be a long-barreled gun; NTV reported it was a shotgun. Other footage showed police wrestling a man to the ground and leading him away as onlookers filmed and screamed. Authorities are investigating how the weapon reached the minor, the conditions under which it was kept, and allegations of bullying before the incident. The education ministry suspended lessons for the day. School shootings are rare in Turkey, but two attacks in April—one in Kahramanmaras that killed a teacher and nine students, and another in Sanliurfa that wounded 16—sparked widespread anger. President Erdogan then dismissed a deputy education minister and vowed tighter gun controls, calling school safety a top priority while noting attackers often aim to terrorize society. The latest attack came a day after the education and interior ministers signed a protocol on security measures for the 2026–2027 academic year, which began September 14. It includes 31,000 school grounds supervisors deployed for the first time, fresh security assessments, permanent police at higher-risk schools, and liaison officers at lower-risk ones. (Bssnews)
