An attacker has opened fire near a high school in western Turkiye, wounding at least 11 people, authorities said.
Two of the wounded were in critical condition, Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said on Tuesday morning, soon after the attack took place near a vocational and technical high school in the Turgutlu district in the western Manisa province.
The suspect was arrested. Their parents and grandfather, who owned the weapon used in the attack, have also been detained, Gurlek said.
“The circumstances under which the child obtained the gun used in the attack, the conditions of the weapon’s storage, the parents’ obligations regarding care and supervision, and allegations of bullying before the incident are being investigated thoroughly and from multiple angles,” he added.
