In southern Turkey, a 14-year-old armed with five guns and seven magazines opened fire inside a middle school on Wednesday, killing at least nine people and wounding 13 others before reportedly taking his own life. The attacker used weapons taken from his father, a former police officer. Mass shootings are extremely rare in Turkey, which has strict gun control laws; however, Wednesday’s massacre was the second school shooting in just 48 hours. A day earlier, 16 people were injured when a former student opened fire in a high school elsewhere in southern Turkey. This is an eyewitness.

Eyewitness: “He was a kid, about 17 or 18 years old, who suddenly walked through the school’s front door. … He just started shooting directly at whoever came in front of him from inside. And then all the students and teachers started screaming, and everyone scattered in different directions.”
