Overview
- The Kahramanmaraş school attack Wednesday left nine dead and 13 injured after a 14-year-old opened fire in two classrooms with five pistols taken from his retired-police father.
- Prosecutors say computer files created days earlier and a WhatsApp profile image referencing US attacker Elliot Rodger point to a planned lone act without a terrorist link.
- Police detained the boy’s parents, opened a case against the father over the guns, and said they shut 940 social-media accounts and more than 90 Telegram groups that promoted violence.
- Officials reported six patients in intensive care and ordered schools in the province closed on Thursday and Friday.
- The rampage followed Tuesday’s separate school shooting in Şanlıurfa that wounded 16 people, a rare cluster in a country with strict gun laws but many illegal firearms.
