A 14-year-old student fatally shot at least nine people, including eight of his fellow students, and wounded at least 13 others at a middle school in southeastern Turkey, according to Misryoum newsroom reporting.
The attack is the country’s second school shooting in two days. Just how quickly rumors spread online after the first reports—people checking their phones between classes, unsure what they’d missed—felt like a familiar, ugly pattern, and then this one followed.
Officials said the shooting happened at the middle school in the southeast, leaving the community trying to process a loss that was immediately hard to count. Misryoum editorial desk noted that the number of victims—at least nine dead and at least 13 wounded—has continued to anchor the official picture of what unfolded.
What makes this especially hard to digest is that the victims included the attacker’s own classmates: eight of his fellow students were among those killed. Even now, details that usually arrive later in cases like this—who was where, who tried to help, how the day’s schedule collapsed—don’t fully change the emotional math of it.
The incident came after another school shooting earlier in the same short span. Misryoum analysis indicates that the repeated nature of these attacks is likely to intensify public anger and scrutiny, especially among families who say they feel they’re being asked to send children into schools without enough reassurance.
In the hours after reports began circulating, the atmosphere in and around places where students gather tends to tighten. You can almost imagine it: the quiet that falls after a shout, the sharp smell of something burnt or overheated from a nearby kitchen, someone saying “No, not here,” and then realizing—actually, it’s here.
