Multiple individuals were injured after a suspect opened fire outside a high school in Manisa, a city in western Turkey, around 8 a.m. local time on Tuesday, September 22. The incident occurred near the İnci Üzmez Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, according to the governorship. At least eight people were injured, with at least one person in critical condition. Security and medical teams were quickly dispatched to the scene, and a suspect was arrested by local authorities. Earlier reports indicated that the suspect had fled the scene on foot before being captured. A full investigation has been launched, and police are expected to provide further updates as more information becomes available. This shooting is the latest in a series of violent incidents at educational institutions in Turkey. In April of this year, the country experienced its worst school shooting ever, when a 14-year-old boy opened fire at a middle school in Kahramanmaraş, in the south of the country. The attack resulted in the death of a teacher and nine children aged 10 and 11. The perpetrator, the son of a retired police officer, died at the scene. The incident led to the dismissal of the deputy minister of Education and prompted President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to announce new measures, including restrictions on firearm ownership. Another incident occurred in Sanliurfa, in the southeastern part of Turkey, where a former student opened fire at his former high school, injuring 16 people before committing suicide in front of the police. These attacks have sparked public outrage and raised concerns about gun control and school safety. Despite the rarity of school shootings in Turkey, the country is estimated to have tens of millions of firearms in circulation, most of which are illegal. The recent events have added pressure on the government to address the issue of gun violence and ensure the safety of students and staff in educational institutions.
