The country was shaken this year by two massacres in schools, which occurred last April.

One of them, in a school, committed by a 14-year-old in Kahramanmaras (south), caused the death of a teacher and nine children of 10 and 11 years old. The author, the son of a retired police officer, was killed at the scene. The massacre, the worst ever committed in a school in Turkey, led to the resignation of the Deputy Minister of Education.

Another incident had taken place on the eve in the province of Sanliurfa (southeast), where a former student carried out a firearm attack at his school, injuring 16 people before taking his own life.

Last month, a teenager started shooting in front of a school in western Turkey, injuring 11 students — three of them with gravity — before being arrested.
