A student aged about 13 opened fire in a Turkish school Wednesday killing four people and wounding 20.
This incident occurred just one day after a shooter wounded 16 people and then killed himself in another school, officials said.
Kahramanmaras province governor Mukerrem Unluer said a teacher and three students were killed in the latest attack. The attacker was also dead, he added.
"A student came to school with guns that we believe belonged to his father in his backpack. He entered two classrooms and opened fire randomly, causing injuries and deaths," Unluer told reporters.
Unluer said Four of the wounded were in serious condition and undergoing surgery.
The attacker, an eighth‑grade student, son of a former police officer was carrying five guns and seven magazines.
Footage released by IHA private news agency showed a person, body and face covered, being evacuated in an ambulance, as well as tearful parents who had rushed to the school in the southern province's main city, Kahramanmaras.
